 AB    Ethnography can be utilized to assess the impact of HIV/AIDS education
       simultaneous with the implementation of program activities. An
       ethnographic analysis based on field methods adapted in a Michigan
       program that targets migrant farmworkers highlights responses to
       showings of a bilingual AIDS education video; the things to which
       migrants attend while they are interacting with the educator and each
       other in HIV education presentations; the tactics they employ to direct
       discussion when talking about HIV/AIDS, and the manner in which they use
       language to distance themselves from the topic of HIV infection and
       AIDS. Migrants in Michigan experience the same risks to health as
       farmworkers in other states; their pay is low, their hours are long, and
       the time they spend in the state is seasonal (summer). They engage in
       risk behavior while in the state (primarily consensual/contracted sex).
       Some migrants through use of drugs may come closer to exposure to the
       HIV virus outside the state than when they are working as migrants in
       Michigan.
