We are looking to understand the mental well-being (stress, causes of stress, how you deal with stress) of farmers and the farming community in Georgia. Learn more about our project here: https://www.georgiaruralhealth.org/farmworkersurvey/
Sign up to be contacted for an interview (in-person, on zoom/teams/skype, or by phone.) Interviews will be voice recorded, but made anonymous. Only the research team will hear what you say. A transcription of your interview will be used for analysis. After transcription, the voice recording will be deleted. Your identifying information will not be collected or stored in the same place as your voice recording.
Interviews will last approximately 45 minutes and will be scheduled at the time most convenient for you.
Farmers include farm workers, farm managers/supervisors, and farm owners. We consider all types of farmers: ranchers, aquaculture, microgreens, etc. Spouses can also mean life-partner. Ag-related professions can also include: accountant on farms, owner of a farm supply store, etc.
Incentive: $50 Visa gift card.
