title: "Causes" of pesticide safety behavior change in Latino farmworker families.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To identify the source of behavior change resulting from a health education intervention focused on pesticide safety.
  
  
  METHODS
  Data were from the La Familia Sana demonstration project, a promotora-delivered pesticide safety education intervention conducted with immigrant Latinos (N = 610).
  
  
  RESULTS
  The La Familia Sana program produced changes in 3 sets of pesticide safety behaviors. Changes in the conceptual targets of the intervention and promotora attributes explained 0.45-6% and 0.5-3% of the changes in pesticide-related behavior, respectively.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The conceptual targets of the La Familia Sana program explained the greatest amount of change in pesticide-related behavior. Promotora attributes also contributed to intervention success.
