We implemented and evaluated a service delivery intervention (support model) to address the challenges faced by migrant agricultural workers in British Columbia, Canada. Three factors were identified that contributed to the effectiveness of the intervention: (1) face-to-face support and in-person outreach towards connection; (2) accounting migrant workers' hierarchy of needs and addressing their basic needs first towards comprehensiveness; and (3) role clarity and communication between partners involved in supporting this population towards coordination. A final factor, wider constraints, referred to the wider context of migrant workers' lives including their temporary status, tied work permits, and lack of access to rights. These wider constraints, which were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, underscore that until greater policy action is taken to address these workers' precarious status, support services can only offer a lifeline in troubled waters.

浑水摸鱼的生命线：对农民工的支持干预

我们实施并评估了一项服务提供干预措施（支持模式），以解决加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省农民工面临的挑战。确定了有助于干预有效性的三个因素：(1) 面对面的支持和面对面的联系外展；(2) 核算农民工需求层次，以基本需求为先，全面推进；(3) 参与支持这一人群的合作伙伴之间的角色明确和沟通，以实现协调。最后一个因素，更广泛的限制, 指的是农民工生活的更广泛背景，包括他们的临时身份、受约束的工作许可证以及无法获得权利。COVID-19 大流行病加剧了这些更广泛的限制，强调除非采取更大的政策行动来解决这些工人的不稳定状况，否则支持服务只能在动荡不安的水域中提供生命线。
