DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Agricultural operations are unique in that the occupational and the residential environments overlap; thus, both children and adults are exposed to occupational risks. We propose to identify the short and long-term physical, psychosocial, and economic consequences of injuries that occur among children and youths living in agricultural operation households to determine the impact of this problem, not only on the individual and family, but also on the overall agricultural operation. This research, building on previous efforts by the investigators, will involve a cohort of agricultural operations in the five-state region of Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska. These states are representative of the major types of agricultural production in the United States, and are among the leading producers of crops and livestock in the nation. From a randomly selected sample of 16,000 agricultural operations, generated from the lists of operations in these states, maintained by the United States Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Statistics Service, the proposed study will result in a final eligible cohort of approximately 4,000 agricultural operations (-16,000 persons total; ~8,000 persons aged 0-19). For all household members, including children/youth 0-19 years of age, baseline and follow-up data will be collected on health-related quality of life, including physical and mental health, disability due to agricultural injuries and other injury causes, and economic status. The injury experience (taking both agriculture and non-agriculture-related injuries into account) and concomitant short-term consequences will be determined prospectively for two six-month periods. In addition to description of injury incidence and associated characteristics, analyses will focus on identification of longer term (2.5 years) injury consequences, by examining potential changes between baseline and follow-up data, through a comparison between households with persons 0-19 years of age who incurred agriculture-related injuries and those that did not; relevant data will also be collected on adults to estimate and analyze rates and to control for potential confounding. The study will utilize a computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI) system with specially designed baseline and follow-up instruments, drawing on successful methods from the 1999 and 2001 Regional Rural Injury Study-ll, to provide sound scientific data. Results of this unique proposal will address a serious deficiency in current knowledge about the magnitude and scope of consequences of child agricultural injuries, controlling for other important factors. The efficient method, integral to this study, for identifying consequences of total injury burden to agricultural operations, has not been previously undertaken.

描述（由申请人提供）：农业运营是独一无二的，因为职业和住宅环境重叠；因此，儿童和成人都面临职业风险。我们建议确定居住在农业运营家庭中的儿童和年轻人中所造成的短期和长期的身体，社会心理和经济后果，以确定这一问题的影响，不仅对个人和家庭，而且对整体农业行动。这项研究基于调查人员以前的努力，将涉及明尼苏达州五州，威斯康星州，北达科他州，南达科他州和内布拉斯加州的五州地区的农业业务。这些州代表着美国主要的农业生产类型，并且是全国农作物和牲畜的主要生产商之一。根据美国农业部国家农业统计局维持的从这些州的行动清单中随机选择的16,000家农业业务样本，该研究将导致最终的合格人群最终合格的队列，约有4,000名农业运营，约有4,000名农业行动（总计-16,000人； 〜8,000人；约8,000人；年龄为0-19岁）。对于所有家庭成员，包括儿童/青少年0-19岁，基线和随访数据将收集与健康相关的生活质量，包括身心健康，由于农业伤害以及其他伤害原因以及经济状况。伤害经验（考虑到农业和非农业相关的伤害）和随之而来的短期后果将在两个六个月的时间内前瞻性确定。除了描述伤害发生率和相关特征外，分析还将集中在长期（2。5年）伤害后果的识别，通过检查基线和随访数据之间的潜在变化，通过比较0-19岁的家庭之间发生了与农业相关伤害的人，以及那些没有损害的伤害；还将收集有关成人的相关数据，以估计和分析速率并控制潜在的混杂。该研究将利用特殊设计的基线和后续工具利用计算机辅助的电话访谈（CATI）系统，利用1999年和2001年的区域农村伤害研究-LL的成功方法，以提供合理的科学数据。这项独特的建议的结果将严重缺乏有关儿童农业伤害后果的大小和范围的知识，控制了其他重要因素。以前尚未进行过有效的方法，即本研究不可或缺的方法，目的是确定全部伤害负担对农业运营的后果。
