Since 2001, FHSI has conducted three National Needs Assessments of Farmworker Serving Health Organizations. All assessments respond to a documented need in the farmworker health outreach community for national data on outreach programs, service benchmarks, outreach program needs, and farmworker health and social service needs. Our reports provide a national context for farmworker outreach programs, and continue to stimulate dialogue and growth towards our shared vision of providing accessible health and social services to farmworkers and their families.

Below you’ll find PDFs with executive summaries and the complete National Needs Assessment Reports from 2003-2004, and 2005-2006.

Please click on the links below to access worksheets that accompany the 2005-2006 National Needs Assessment of Farmworker-Serving Health Organizations. One worksheet is specific to health centers, and the other to Migrant and Seasonal Head Starts. The worksheets guide you through key indicators from the survey and provide fill-in-the-blanks so you can see how your organization compares nationally. These findings can be used in grant proposals, program planning, or shared with community stakeholders.
