More than 14,000 deaths in the U.S.
have been attributed to silicosis and in the state of Texas, 239
cases of silicosis were reported between 1990 and 1997. Among these
cases, construction was one of the most frequently report
industries. Despite the alarming number of reports, few attempts
have been made to educate construction workers in Texas,
particularly workers of Hispanic or Latino descent. The goal of
this study is to determine if culturally tailored silicosis
prevention messages are more effective than non-culturally tailored
silicosis prevention messages in promoting changes in
knowledge..
