At the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, we have studied the elastic scattering of polarized electrons from hydrogen. The resulting parity-violating electroweak asymmetry is sensitive to the contributions of strange quarks to the nucleon form factors at a level that is of theoretical interest. Using events at a laboratory scattering angle of 12.3{sup o} and (Q{sup 2})=0.477 GeV/c, we measure the linear combination of strange form factors (G{sup n}{sub E}) + 0.39G{sup E}{sub M}/(G{sup py}{sub M}/mu{sub p}) = 0.091+/-0.054+/-0.039, where the first error is the quadratic sum of our systematic and statistical errors and the second error is due to uncertainty in nucleon form factors.
