As many as 300 children a year may be killed while working in the U.S.; an unknown number suffer nonfatal injuries on the job. Current information on occupational injuries in children is based entirely on death certificates or workmen's compensation reporting. Both sources are known to contain extensive and biased underreporting for children. Many children are working illegally, "off-the-books", or in hazardous conditions including, but not limited to, those inappropriate for the child's health and developmental status. Determination of high risk occupations and incidence and severity of non-fatal injuries has been made a priority in the injury control and pediatric emergency treatment communities. Current policy questions on effects of 'school-to-work' programs require supporting baseline data on current work practices and injuries. NICHD staff are working collaboratively across Federal Agencies to determine the incidence of non-fatal injuries occurring to children in the workplace by occupational category exposure time. Dr. Dunn is completing a study of occupational exposure time for adolescents ages 15-18 from the Census Bureau Survey of Income and Program Productivity (SIPP) as part of her doctoral dissertation. Her work will be used to provide unique and relatively unbiased exposure data for future epidemiological studies. The findings were presented to the Institute of Medicine / National Academy of Science Committee on Child Labor by Dr. Overpeck in June, 1997. Dr. Overpeck prepared injury questions that were fielded in the SIPP in 1995. This will enable researchers to target interventions effectively by identifying both high risk children and high risk occupational categories. Dr. Overpeck will use the preliminary work on exposures prepared by Dr. Dunn to evaluate the injury data that will be available for the first time in 1998.

在美国工作时，每年多达300名儿童可能会丧生； 一个未知的数字在工作中遭受非致命伤害。 当前的 有关儿童职业伤害的信息完全基于 死亡证明或工人的赔偿报告。 两个来源都是 众所周知，对儿童的广泛而有偏见的报道不足。 许多 儿童正在非法工作，“账面”或危险 条件在内，包括但不限于那些不合适的条件 儿童的健康和发育状况。 高风险的确定 非致命伤害的职业，发病率和严重程度 优先于伤害控制和小儿应急治疗 社区。 当前有关“学校对工作”影响的政策问题 计划需要支持有关当前工作实践的基线数据， 受伤。 NICHD员工正在联邦政府合作 确定发生非致命伤害发生率的机构 工作场所的儿童按职业类别暴露时间。 博士 邓恩正在完成一项针对青少年职业曝光时间的研究 人口普查局收入和计划调查的15-18岁 生产力（SIPP）作为博士论文的一部分。 她的工作愿意 用于提供独特且相对无偏见的曝光数据 未来的流行病学研究。 调查结果已提交给 医学研究所 /国家儿童科学院委员会 Overpeck博士的劳动，1997年6月。 Overpeck博士准备了在SIPP中提出的伤害问题 1995年。这将使研究人员能够有效针对干预措施 通过确定高风险儿童和高风险职业 类别。 Overpeck博士将在暴露中使用初步工作 由Dunn博士准备的，以评估将有可用的伤害数据 这是1998年的第一次。
