    In the context of the Infants and Environmental Health Program (ISA - www.isa.una.ac.cr) we started working together with the Primary Care Technical Assistants in Health (ATAPS) in the upper Talamanca area, with the support of the Costa Rican Social Security (CCSS). The collaboration of the ATAPS has allowed us to understand even more the knowledge and population's use of pesticides. The support of the Talamanca Health Area (CCSS) made it possible to implement working meetings with ATAPS in the development of a tool for obtain information on the use, knowledge and experience of the population about pesticides. This instrument was built, validated and piloted by the ATAPS during home visits. Also the development of workshops with the ATAPS, allowed the sharing of information on the types of pesticides, their effects health and research findings that the ISA team develops since 2006 in the area. Through the participation of ATAPS and other social actors in the area (such as the Municipality, women's associations, Biological Corridor, governments among others), it was possible to form a Commission1 (see Annex 01) for attend to the problem of the sky bags that constitute a source of contamination in the communities of the indigenous territory. The ISA Program is very interested in maintaining collaboration with the CCSS and to continue working with ATAPS. The purpose of this document is to report on the main activities carried out with the ATAPS.
