 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Farmers have considerably elevated rates of occupational fatality, as compared to other U.S. industries. Although this fact alone warrants consideration, it is even more remarkable to note that the most frequent cause of death on farms, tractor overturns, has a readily amenable solution, which is the installation of rollover protective structures (ROPS). ROPS are commercially available and 99% effective in protecting a tractor operator from death and injury. However, 40% of U.S. tractors lack this crucial safety technology. The over-arching objective of this proposal is to translate the wealth of knowledge about ROPS and interventional strategies into a national program that decisively addresses the issue of tractor overturn fatalities. This will be done by establishing evidence-based ROPS installation programs in high-risk states, while at the same time mobilizing the stakeholder investment necessary for launching a National ROPS Rebate Program. Evaluation of the implementation process in high-risk states using a structured, staged approach will provide valuable information on how program fidelity is maintained in these environments. Evaluation of efforts to mobilize a collaborative, multi-industry approach to national program implementation will allow researchers to identify what 'works' and what does 'not work' in expanding or state-based or regionalized safety programs. This project addresses several NORA Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing Sector and NORA Cross-sector goals. These include: Intermediate Goal #2.4: Reduce injuries in the Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing Sector ,Strategic Goal #3: Move proven health and safety strategies into agricultural, forestry and fishing (AFF) workplaces through the development of partnerships and collaborative efforts, Intermediate Goal #3.3, Use innovative and proven social marketing techniques to influence knowledge, attitudes and practices of AFF workers, Action Step #3.3.4 Encourage and promote proven outreach initiatives targeted for high risk populations, Strategic Goal #4: Reduce the number, rate, and severity of traumatic injuries and deaths involving hazards of production agriculture and support activities, Intermediate Goal #4a.2: Government agencies, equipment manufacturers, and industry groups will work together in a prevention through-design effort to increase the use of new ROPS technologies on mobile machines at high risk for overturns, Intermediate Goal #4.1 Reduce the number of fatalities due to overturns of tractors in agriculture by 50% through the use of ROPS or similar technology by 2018. Numerous Outputs and Outcomes are also expected and include: Outputs-publications, presentations/posters, investigator career development, databases, website, tools, promotional materials; Intermediate Outcomes-citations in the literature, adoption of technologies, partnerships, programs, R2P methods; and End Outcomes-reductions in fatalities and injuries.

 描述（由申请人提供）：与美国其他行业相比，农民的职业死亡率相当高。尽管这一事实本身就值得考虑，但更值得注意的是，农场最常见的死亡原因，拖拉机翻车，有一个容易接受的解决方案，即安装翻车保护结构（ROPS）。ROPS是市售的，在保护拖拉机操作员免受死亡和伤害方面有99%的有效性。然而，40%的美国拖拉机缺乏这一关键的安全技术。本提案的首要目标是将ROPS和干预策略的丰富知识转化为国家计划，以果断解决拖拉机倾覆死亡问题。这将通过在高风险州建立基于证据的ROPS安装计划来实现，同时动员利益相关者投资启动国家ROPS回扣计划。在高风险状态下，使用结构化的，分阶段的方法的实施过程的评估将提供有价值的信息，在这些环境中，程序的保真度是如何保持的。对动员合作的多行业方法来实施国家计划的努力进行评估，将使研究人员能够确定在扩大或以州为基础或区域化的安全计划中什么“有效”，什么"无效“。该项目涉及诺拉农业、林业和渔业部门以及诺拉跨部门目标。其中包括：中期目标#2.4：减少农业、林业和渔业部门的伤害，战略目标#3：通过发展伙伴关系和合作努力，将经过验证的健康和安全战略推广到农业、林业和渔业工作场所，中期目标#3.3，利用创新和经过验证的社会营销技术影响农业、林业和渔业工作人员的知识、态度和做法，行动步骤3.3.4鼓励和促进针对高风险人群的行之有效的外联举措，战略目标4：减少涉及生产农业和支助活动危害的创伤性伤害和死亡的数量、发生率和严重程度，中间目标4a.2：政府机构设备制造商和行业组织将共同努力，通过以下方式进行预防：设计工作，以增加新的ROPS技术在移动的机器上的使用，中期目标#4.1将农业中因拖拉机翻倒而造成的死亡人数减少50%到2018年，通过使用ROPS或类似技术。预计还将有许多产出和成果，包括：产出-出版物、演示文稿/海报、研究者职业发展、数据库、网站、工具、宣传材料;中期成果-文献引用、技术采用、合作伙伴关系、项目、R2 P方法;以及最终成果-死亡和伤害减少。
