背景：对来自农民工家庭的青年的物质使用、工作特点和伤害知之甚少。一些证据表明，移民青年可能是在更大的风险比nonmigrant youth.Purpose的物质使用和工伤：本研究的目的是比较物质使用，就业和伤害的数据，从移民和nonmigrant青年居住在农村南Texas.Methods：匿名横断面调查数据收集了7,302名初中和3,565名高中学生在一个普通的类。如果学生积极回答：“你的家人是否为了工作而在州或全国各地搬家？”结果：大约5%的南德克萨斯州初中和高中学生报告属于移民家庭。与非移民学生相比，移民青年更有可能报告经常使用药物。属于移民家庭的青年不太可能在周末工作，但更有可能在上学前的工作日上午工作。这些青年也更有可能曾经受伤，而工作比nonmigrant students.Conclusions：这些结果表明，需要在这个最脆弱的农村人口的额外干预。具体而言，建议开展有针对性的教育方案，以加强流动青年的职业安全和健康，进一步研究农村地区有效的药物滥用治疗和预防方案，并加强童工法。
Context: Little is known about substance use, work characteristics, and injuries of youth from migrant farmworker families. Some evidence suggests that migrant youth may be at greater risk for substance use and work‐related injuries than nonmigrant youth.Purpose: The aim of this study is to compare substance use, employment, and injury data from migrant and nonmigrant youth residing in rural South Texas.Methods: Anonymous cross‐sectional survey data were collected from 7,302 middle and 3,565 high school students during a regular class. Classification as a migrant student occurred if the student responded positively to: “Does your family move around the state or nation to pick fruits or vegetables for work?”Results: About 5% of South Texas middle and high school students reported belonging to a migrant family. Compared to nonmigrant students, migrant youth were more likely to report frequent substance use. Youth belonging to migrant families were less likely to work for pay on weekends but more likely to work for pay on weekday mornings before school. These youth were also more likely to have ever been injured while working than nonmigrant students.Conclusions: These results demonstrate a need for additional interventions in this most vulnerable rural population. Specifically, targeted educational programs to enhance the occupational safety and health of migrant youth, further research into effective substance abuse treatment and prevention programs in rural areas, and enhancement of child labor laws are recommended.
