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）：农业经营的独特之处在于其职业环境和居住环境重叠；因此，儿童和成人都面临职业风险。我们建议确定生活在农业经营家庭中的儿童和青少年受伤的短期和长期的身体、心理和经济后果，以确定这一问题不仅对个人和家庭，而且对整个农业经营的影响。这项研究建立在研究人员先前努力的基础上，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州地区的一系列农业作业。这些州是美国主要农业生产类型的代表，也是美国农作物和牲畜的主要生产地之一。根据美国农业部国家农业统计局（National agricultural Statistics Service）维护的这些州的经营清单，从随机选择的16,000个农业经营项目样本中，拟议的研究将产生大约4,000个农业经营项目的最终合格队列（总共16,000人；年龄在0-19岁之间的8,000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。伤害经历（考虑到农业和非农业相关的伤害）和伴随的短期后果将在两个六个月的期间内确定。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）伤害后果，方法是通过比较0-19岁家庭中遭受农业相关伤害的人和没有遭受农业相关伤害的家庭，检查基线数据和后续数据之间的潜在变化；还将收集成人的相关数据，以估计和分析发病率，并控制潜在的混杂因素。该研究将利用计算机辅助电话访谈（CATI）系统，采用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。这一独特建议的结果将在控制其他重要因素的情况下，解决目前关于儿童农业伤害后果的程度和范围的知识严重不足的问题。以前没有采取有效的方法，作为本研究的组成部分，以确定全部伤害负担对农业作业的后果。
