The National Agricultural Workers Survey (NAWS) is an employment-based, random-sample survey of U.S. crop workers that collects demographic, employment, and health data in face-to-face interviews. The survey began in fiscal year 1989 and nearly 70,000 workers have been interviewed since then. There are three data files. The primary or National Agricultural Workers Survey Public Access Data (NAWSPAD) file corresponds to the base questionnaire; two smaller files correspond to supplemental questions that ETA administered for the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
