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.

说明（由申请人提供）：农业作业的独特之处在于职业和居住环境重叠;因此，儿童和成人都面临职业风险。我们建议确定短期和长期的身体，心理和经济后果的伤害发生在儿童和青少年生活在农业经营家庭，以确定这个问题的影响，不仅对个人和家庭，而且对整体农业经营。这项研究建立在调查人员以前的努力基础上，将涉及明尼苏达州、威斯康星州、北达科他州、南达科他州和内布拉斯加州五个州的一组农业经营活动。这些州是美国主要农业生产类型的代表，也是美国主要的农作物和牲畜生产国之一。从美国农业部国家农业统计局保存的这些州的业务清单中随机选择的16 000个农业业务的样本中，拟议的研究将产生最终合格的约4 000个农业业务的队列（总共约16 000人;约8 000名0-19岁的人）。对于所有家庭成员，包括0-19岁的儿童/青年，将收集与健康有关的生活质量的基线和后续数据，包括身心健康、农业伤害和其他伤害原因造成的残疾以及经济状况。将在两个为期六个月的时期内前瞻性地确定受伤经历（考虑到农业和非农业相关伤害）和伴随的短期后果。除了描述伤害发生率和相关特征外，分析还将侧重于识别长期（2.5年）的伤害后果，通过比较0-19岁的人遭受与农业有关的伤害的家庭和没有遭受与农业有关的伤害的家庭，审查基线和后续数据之间的潜在变化;还将收集成人的相关数据，以估计和分析发生率，并控制潜在的混杂因素。这项研究将利用计算机辅助电话访谈（CATI）系统，特别设计的基线和后续工具，借鉴1999年和2001年区域农村伤害研究II的成功方法，提供可靠的科学数据。这一独特提案的结果将解决目前对儿童农业伤害后果的程度和范围的认识严重不足的问题，并控制其他重要因素。有效的方法，本研究的组成部分，确定的后果，总伤害负担的农业经营，以前没有进行。
