Sexual harassment, a form of sexual violence, is a widespread problem in agriculture. However, it’s not often seen as a workplace safety issue. CSDE Regional Affiliate and Associate Professor of Health Studies at UW Bothell, Dr. Jody Early, along with UW Bothell Affiliate Assistant Professor, Dr. Victoria Breckwich Vásquez, are working to change this. They co-lead a cross-sector group of stakeholders helmed by women farmworkers, to create the first U.S. bilingual, Spanish and English, video and toolkit to be used in the worksite to help change the way in which sexual harassment is understood and addressed within the agricultural sector.

A recent Undark Magazine article “Can Peer Support Programs Help Those Living With HIV?” quoted CSDE Affiliate and Professor of Psychology Jane Simoni regarding her expertise on the effect of peer support groups on mental health, substance abuse, homelessness, and other such issues. Simoni offers her expertise, based on her 2011 review on the efficacy of peer support interventions for people with HIV, “peers will always be helpful to some patients…but they will unlikely be sufficient to help all patients, especially those with mental health or other issues (substance use, homelessness) that require a higher level of intervention and assistance.”
