AN EVALUATION OF THE NORTH AMERICAN GUIDELINES FOR CHILD

为了帮助减少农业伤亡， 家庭农场，国家农村农业健康安全中心 制定了年龄指导方针，作为帮助父母制定 关于让儿童参与农场任务的适当选择。然而，在那里 指导方针与家长的指导方针之间仍然存在重大差异 关于农场儿童适龄参与的实际做法 任务。通过确定除了年龄之外还有哪些其他变量影响父母的 决策过程首先让他们的孩子参与农场任务，并通过 还提供有关家长培训和监督做法的信息 作为榜样行为，我们可以开始评估为什么或为什么不是NAGCAT 可能会很有效。 将采用定量和定性相结合的方法来分析数据 收集了父母对NAGCAT的态度和父母的态度 在就业、培训和监督方面的做法和态度 他们的孩子们在农场的工作。榜样和性别问题将 尤其是被评为影响因素。将设计具体的干预措施 基于研究结果，其中心将是一项拟议的 旨在修改和扩展语言以及 介绍NAGCAT，目的是提高其效力 在防止农场儿童受伤和死亡方面。

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.
