Environmentalism Among Vulnerable Youth: An Examination of Self-Efficacy for Environmental Action Among Latinx Child Farmworkers.
Background: Latinx child farmworkers, like all vulnerable youth living in rural communities, experience substantial environmental exposures. Eliminating these exposures and improving environmental justice will benefit from the involvement of these child farmworkers. The aims of this article are to document the environmental self-efficacy of Latinx child farmworkers and to delineate the factors associated with environmental self-efficacy.
Methods: A total of 169 North Carolina Latinx child farmworkers completed an interviewer-administered questionnaire in 2018 or 2019 that included the 5-point Self-Efficacy for Environmental Action Scale.
Results: Self-efficacy for environmental action was strong among the participants, with a mean score of 3.83 (standard deviation 0.48). Girls had a higher mean score than boys (3.95 vs. 3.77; p = 0.01); each year of educational attainment was associated with a 0.05 score increase (p = 0.03).
Discussion: These results indicate that Latinx child farmworker have a strong sense of environmental self-efficacy. Organizations supporting the development of Latinx youth should incorporate issues of environmental justice into their programs.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Justice, a quarterly peer-reviewed journal, is the central forum for the research, debate, and discussion of the equitable treatment and involvement of all people, especially minority and low-income populations, with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. The Journal explores the adverse and disparate environmental burden impacting marginalized populations and communities all over the world. Environmental Justice draws upon the expertise and perspectives of all parties involved in environmental justice struggles: communities, industry, academia, government, and nonprofit organizations.
