AN EVALUATION OF THE NORTH AMERICAN GUIDELINES FOR CHILD

为了帮助减少农业伤亡， 家庭农场，国家农村农业健康与安全中心， 制定了年龄准则，作为协助父母 选择合适的方式让孩子们参与农活。然而， 这仍然是指导方针和家长意见之间的一个重大差异。 关于适龄儿童参与农场的实际做法 任务通过确定除了年龄之外还有哪些其他变量进入父母的 决策过程首先让孩子参与农场任务，然后 提供有关家长培训和监督做法的信息， 作为角色模型行为，我们可以开始评估为什么或为什么不NAGCAT 可能是有效的。 定量和定性方法将结合起来分析数据 收集了父母对NAGCAT的态度，以及父母对NAGCAT的态度。 在就业、培训和监督方面的做法和态度 他们的孩子在农场工作。角色塑造和性别问题将 尤其是作为因素来评价。将设计具体的干预措施 根据研究结果，在其中心将是一个拟议的 演示项目旨在修改和扩展语言， 介绍NAGCAT，以提高其有效性 防止农场儿童的伤亡。

In order to help reduce agricultural injuries and fatalities on family farms, the National Center for Rural Agricultural Health and Safety has developed age guidelines as a significant tool to assist parents in making appropriate choices regarding engaging children in farm tasks. Yet, there continues to be a significant discrepancy between the guidelines and parents' actual practices concerning the age appropriate engagement of children in farm tasks. By determining what additional variables besides age enter into parents' decision making processes to first involve their children in farm tasks and by providing information about parents training and supervision practices as well as role modeling behavior, we can begin to evaluate why or why not the NAGCAT might be effective. Quantitative and qualitative approaches will be combined to analyze data collected both as to parents' attitudes toward the NAGCAT, and parent's practices and attitudes in regard to the employment, training, and supervision of their children in farm tasks. Role modeling and gender issues will especially be evaluated as factors. Specific interventions will be designed based on research findings, at the center of which will be a proposed demonstration project designed to both modify and expand the language and presentation of the NAGCAT with the purpose of increasing their effectiveness in preventing injuries and fatalities to farm children.
