PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT – GREAT PLAINS CENTER FOR AGRICULTURAL HEALTH (OVERALL) The Great Plains Center for Agricultural Health conducts research and provides outreach to reduce the burden of injury and illness facing Midwest agricultural producers, particularly those hazards associated with both large and small row crop and livestock/animal production. This Center will serve a nine-state region: who share these production similarities: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Our vision of safe and healthy agricultural communities is accomplished through basic and applied research, use of participatory approaches, and theory-driven education and translation activities. Our research projects are designed to address multiple hazards important to both the NIOSH national strategic priorities and priorities for our region’s farming workforce. The research questions being proposed will: reduce the burden of back pain from a lifetime of tractor use, provide resources to help families of aging farmers transition to safer work at multiple stages of dementia, provide tools to help farmers identify and reduce high- risk hazards in their physical environment, reduce injuries from farm vehicles on roadways, and improve the respiratory health of livestock producers and the animals they raise. Research proposes to develop innovative technologies needed to close gaps in knowledge (whole-body vibration), awareness of hazards (safety checklist app), and equipment (air quality systems), and innovative partnerships (e.g., Alzheimer’s Association, state extension health educators) bring new collaborators with unique skills to contribute to agricultural injury reduction. Partnerships throughout the Center projects and cores, including advisory boards and focus group participants, will provide essential information to enhance the adoption of tools being developed and/or tested across the Center portfolio. The lessons learned from our research initiatives will be translated into outreach materials by being incorporated into national educational curricula, disseminated through partners, and incorporated into multimedia discussions (social media, print media-Safety Watch, and FarmSafe podcasts) to aid in the dissemination and uptake of these best practices. The Center will establish and support systems to foster communication, identify and build strategic partnerships, and assess the needs of the agricultural community. Our evaluators will work within all projects and Cores to maximize our ability assess the Center’s contributions to improved health and safety outcomes for our region’s farmers. The Great Plains Center for Agricultural Health has demonstrated its contributions to improving knowledge and practices to protect the health and safety of agricultural workers throughout the Midwest, and we are ideally positioned, with strong regional collaborators, to generate and disseminate evidence-based practices, guidelines, and controls to protect this essential workforce.

项目摘要/摘要-大平原农业健康中心(总体) 大平原农业健康中心进行研究并提供外展服务，以减少 中西部农业生产者面临的伤害和疾病负担，特别是与 大行和小行作物和畜牧生产。该中心将为九个州的地区提供服务：世卫组织 分享这些生产相似之处：伊利诺伊州、印第安纳州、爱荷华州、堪萨斯州、明尼苏达州、密苏里州、内布拉斯加州、俄亥俄州 和威斯康星州。我们对安全和健康农业社区的愿景是通过基本的 和应用研究，使用参与性方法，以及理论驱动的教育和翻译活动。 我们的研究项目旨在解决对NIOSH国家战略 我们地区农业劳动力的优先事项和优先事项。提出的研究问题将：减少 一生使用拖拉机造成的背痛负担，为帮助年迈农民的家庭提供资源 在痴呆症的多个阶段过渡到更安全的工作，提供工具帮助农民识别和减少高风险 在自然环境中存在危险，减少农用车辆在道路上造成的伤害，并改善 畜牧业生产者及其饲养的动物的呼吸健康。研究建议发展创新 弥合知识(全身振动)、危险意识(安全)方面的差距所需的技术 核对表APP)、设备(空气质量系统)和创新伙伴关系(例如，阿尔茨海默氏症协会、 州推广健康教育者)带来具有独特技能的新合作者，为农业伤害做出贡献 还原。整个中心项目和核心的伙伴关系，包括咨询委员会和焦点小组 参与者将提供基本信息，以促进正在开发和/或测试的工具的采用 在整个中心产品组合中。从我们的研究活动中吸取的经验教训将转化为外展 将材料纳入国家教育课程，通过合作伙伴传播，以及 整合到多媒体讨论(社交媒体、印刷媒体-安全观察和农场安全播客)中 协助传播和采纳这些最佳做法。该中心将建立和支持以下系统 促进沟通，确定和建立战略合作伙伴关系，并评估农业领域的需求 社区。我们的评估员将在所有项目和核心中工作，以最大限度地提高我们评估中心的能力 为改善我们区域农民的健康和安全成果作出贡献。美国大平原中心 农业健康已证明其在改善知识和做法以保护 整个中西部农业工人的健康和安全，我们处于理想的位置，具有强大的 区域合作者，以产生和传播基于证据的实践、指导方针和控制措施，以 保护这一必不可少的劳动力。
