6:58Now PlayingAccording to the Farmworker Health Study, published this year following in-depth interviews with more than 1,200 farmworkers across California, between one-third and one-half of farmworkers surveyed suffer from chronic diseases, including diabetes and hypertension. The vast majority are considered either overweight or obese.
Many of these conditions are linked to “social determinants of health" like socio-economic status and a lack of access to primary care and health insurance coverage. PBS NewsHour digital anchor Nicole Ellis speaks to KVPR's Kerry Klein about her reporting in Central California.
