As a result of the work of the Clinical and Community Research Unit of the Department of Family and Community Medicine at Wake Forest School of Medicine, a number of evidence-based education materials have been developed. We strive to make these materials available to the public and the practice community at no cost.

La Familia Sana: Promotora Program
This program was developed by researchers at Wake Forest School of Medicine (WFSM) to meet the need for culturally appropriate teaching materials aimed at educating farmworker families about agricultural and residential pesticide safety. The materials included here are based on research by the WFSM team, in partnership with several community-based organizations.
This research has documented pesticide exposure among farmworkers and members of their families and has delineated farmworker beliefs and perceptions about pesticide exposure. The La Familia Sana Program has been implemented, evaluated and refined to produce these materials. Advice and feedback from farmworkers and their families were incorporated at all stages of development.
Approach: This program is designed to be delivered by promotoras de salud, or lay health advisors. It is geared toward adult learners, recognizing that they may have limited literacy skills.
