翻车保护结构（ROPS）可以防止致命的拖拉机翻车，这是农民死亡的主要原因。这种内容分析的目的是了解如何拯救生命的策略出现在新闻中农场safety.MethodsAs从四个农业州的农场安全新闻报道的一个更大的研究的一部分，我们进行了内容分析的文章，提到ROPS.ResultsFew（10%）关于农场安全的文章明确提到ROPS。当ROPS被提到，他们被描述在他们的潜力，以挽救生命或防止injuries.ConclusionDespite证明成功，ROPS和程序，使ROPS更广泛地提供给农民，但都没有从新闻报道中的主要农业国家。这意味着错失了一个机会，不仅无法激励农民安装ROPS，也无法向政策制定者证明建立和维持资金以防止农场最常见的死亡原因的重要性。农民在安装救生设备方面面临障碍。如果不增加ROPS的使用和改善预防计划的可及性，农民，特别是低收入农民，将继续面临不成比例的死亡和受伤风险。
IntroductionRollover protective structures (ROPS) can prevent fatal tractor overturns, a leading cause of death among farmers. This content analysis aims to understand how this life‐saving strategy appears in news about farm safety.MethodsAs part of a larger study of farm safety news coverage from four agricultural states, we conducted a content analysis of articles that mentioned ROPS.ResultsFew (10%) articles about farm safety explicitly mentioned ROPS. When ROPS were mentioned, they were described in terms of their potential to save lives or prevent injury.ConclusionDespite proven success, ROPS—and programs to make ROPS more widely available to farmers—are all but absent from news coverage in key agricultural states. This represents a missed opportunity not only to motivate farmers to install ROPS, but also to demonstrate to policymakers the importance of establishing and maintaining funding to prevent the most frequent cause of death on farms. Farmers face barriers to installing life‐saving equipment. Without an increase in ROPS utilization and improved access to prevention programs, farmers, especially low‐income farmers, will remain at disproportionate risk for death and injury.
