Method 1: Cultural Conversations Cultural Conversations are focus groups with less focus and more freedom for participants to talk. The idea is to have a free flowing dialogue with interviewees. A mix of unstructured group interviews + listening sessions.

Method 1: Cultural Conversations Six 1.5 h cultural conversations were conducted with groups of 5-7 Brazilian immigrants by type of work (painters, food and restaurant, youth, housecleaners, small construction contractors, and landscapers). Conversations were transcribed and analyzed for themes with N Vivo™ software for qualitative analysis.

Method 2: Survey Design Decentering was the translation method used for survey questions. Both languages (Portuguese and English) equally important. Survey was designed simultaneously in Portuguese English. Equivalence of concepts was dealt with simultaneously, without literal translation from English to Portuguese or vice-versa.

Survey Design (cont.) Survey translation remains open until conceptual clarity and appropriate grammatical structures are achieved. Advantage of the method is that questions become more culturally appropriate (ex: scales in some questions or words that are not easy to translate).

Method 3: Photo-Voice Photo-voice is a participatory health promotion strategy in which people use cameras to document their health and work reality. As participants engage in a group process of critical reflection, they may advocate for changes in their communities by using the power of their images and stories to communicate with policymakers. Wang and Red-wood Jones

Photo-Voice (cont.)

Photos allowed a group of Brazilian immigrants to discuss with an OSHA inspector the hazards they perceived. Inspector suggested other hazards not perceived by group and discussed OSHA standards that addressed the hazards identified.

Photo-Voice (cont.) Quilt to hold pictures was a practical way to keep photos together. Brazilian immigrant workers developed questions about the photos that were answered in plasticized cards stored in pockets sown in the quilt.

Method 4: Popular Theater/Video DVD “My Dream Our Reality” is a community produced video based on a play developed by group Ponto de Partida and Mariana Wagner (educator). Augusto Boal and Paulo Freire inspired the development of popular education tools to educate Brazilian immigrants. Script was developed with group input and is based on real life cases of workplace injuries that affected Brazilian workers in Massachusetts.

Method 5: Community-based Surveillance Collection and dissemination of information on injuries and fatalities of Brazilian workers based on Brazilian community network channels. Collection of information about fatality and injuries through Brazilian newspapers + phone calls+ contacts with friends and family of victims, as well as with coworkers or house mates.

Community-based Surveillance (cont.) Dissemination of bilingual alerts and information to community in churches, at the Brazilian Immigrant Center, and through newspapers and radio shows. Telling the stories of the families who lost their loved ones in the workplace.

Community-based Surveillance (cont.) Commitment to actions that can change workplace policy and/or procedures. Examples: Campaign against violence in retail establishments, especially shoplifting. Campaign to improve safety in granite construction shops (together with OSHA).

Method 6: Training with Fun Training of construction workers using local comedian (former construction worker) and satire to educate workers about construction health and safety hazards and safe practices. Idea came from similar experience in Bahia, Brazil. Hands on approach to PPE + games + photos and video (nothing new to popular educators).
