Promoting the health of migrant seasonal agricultural workers in rural Minnesota using a whole-person health approach: a pilot project

Utilizing a whole-person health assessment framework such as MSMH can result in a more nuanced understanding of a community, including its unique strengths, needs, and challenges. This information can be invaluable for health outreach groups seeking to promote community health by identifying upstream factors contributing to health outcomes. For the MSAW community in Minnesota, MSMH survey data were used to promote community health by increasing services, connecting individuals with community resources, and establishing vision and oral health programs.
