养马场很危险。然而，对拉丁美洲马工人的受伤情况知之甚少。这项研究评估了拉丁美洲马工人的受伤率，描述了他们的伤害，并分析了接受医疗与接受急救护理的伤害之间的差异。数据收集从225拉丁裔纯种工人通过社区为基础的有目的的抽样策略。问题包括过去一年的受伤经历以及每个人两次最严重受伤的细节。进行单变量和双变量分析。近一半的工人在过去的一年里经历过受伤，通常涉及马。瘀伤和扭伤/拉伤是最常见的，上/下附件受伤也是如此。头部/面部受伤往往导致医疗护理。拉丁美洲工人的受伤负担很高。由于与马有关的伤害的高发率，建议使用个人防护设备（PPE）和培训。未来的研究应该调查工作环境中可能影响伤害风险的方面。
Horse breeding farms are hazardous. Yet, little is known about the injuries of Latino horse workers. This study assesses Latino horse workers’ injury prevalence, describes their injuries, and analyzes differences between injuries receiving medical versus those receiving first aid care. Data were gathered from 225 Latino thoroughbred workers via a community-based purposive sampling strategy. Questions included injury experiences in the past year and details about each person’s two most severe injuries. Univariate and bivariate analyses were conducted. Nearly half of workers experienced an injury in the past year, often involving a horse. Bruises and sprains/strains were most common, as were injuries to upper/lower appendages. Head/face injuries more often resulted in medical care. The injury burden in this Latino worker population is high. Personal protective equipment (PPE) and training is advised due to the high prevalence of horse-related injuries. Future research should investigate aspects of the work environment that may influence injury risk.
