在农业环境中工作的青少年可能会接触到导致听力损失的噪音水平。本文介绍了一个为期四年的设计，实施和结果。听力保护计划（HCP）在学校进行。34所学校（753名学生）被随机分配到干预组或对照组。干预措施包括多成分的教育策略和工业HCP的就业特点。最终的依从性调查显示，87.5%的干预学生报告使用听力保护设备（HPD）至少有一部分时间，而对照组学生为45%。据报告，影响最大的HCP成分是在农场使用的HPD的分布和每年的听力测试。百分之八十的干预学生报告打算在未来使用HPD。在初中和高中学生中开展听力保护计划是可行的，似乎可以说服青少年在农场工作时保护自己免受噪音的影响。
Adolescents working in agricultural settings may be exposed to noise levels that result in hearing loss. The article describes the design, implementation, and results of a four-year. hearing conservation program (HCP) conducted at school. Thirty-four schools (753 students) were randomly assigned to either an intervention or control group. The intervention included multicomponent educational strategies and employed features of an industrial HCP. Final compliance surveys indicated 87.5% of intervention students reported using hearing protection devices (HPD) at least some of the rime, compared to 45% of control students. The HCP components with the greatest reported influence were distribution of HPDs for use on the farm and yearly hearing tests. Eighty percent of intervention students reported intention to use HPDs in the future. It is feasible to conduct a hearing conservation program with junior high school and senior high school students, and it appears possible to persuade teen-agers to protect themselves from exposure to loud noise while working on a farm.
