Men who had worked in agriculture for at least three years at the time of recruitment, were 30 years of age and older, and who self-identified as Latino were eligible to participate in the parent project on pesticide exposure. North Carolina Farmworkers Project staff spoke with Latino men living in farmworker camps about the aims of and requirements for participation in our project. Research study staff contacted and screened those who expressed interest in the project. A total of 235 male farmworkers completed the baseline interview [14]; 165 and 102 farmworkers completed the telecommunications module in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Eleven farmworkers completed the 2013 telecommunications module, but not 2012 module; 91 farmworkers completed both telecommunications modules.
