National Childrens Cntr for rual & Ag Health & Safety

描述（由申请人提供）：以2001年儿童农业伤害预防峰会的最新行动计划为指导框架，我们中心的主题是建立伙伴关系，保护我们国家农场和牧场工作和玩耍的儿童。通过公共和私营部门的合作伙伴，我们将开展宣传，预防，教育和研究项目，反映美国农业的地理，种族和文化多样性。 对讲西班牙语的移民和移民农场工人子女给予特别关注。 芭芭拉·李博士担任中心主任和行政核心领导人。 一个由10名成员组成的外部咨询小组和7名内部顾问将指导战略，申请可行性基金，召开利益攸关方会议，并跟踪进展情况。 除了我们的外部顾问和核心团队外，还有18人同意参与各种项目，这个数字可能会增加。 由公共卫生硕士Christian Hanna领导的外联核心由三个项目组成，这些项目利用沟通战略、国家组织之间的正式网络和共识小组就八个不同主题提出“最佳做法”建议。 由Mark Purschwitz博士指导的干预核心包括一个与青少年农场工人雇主的示范项目;以及对“一代又一代安全农民”干预的评估。 医学博士Steven Kirkhorn领导教育核心，由四个正式项目和几个“联合赞助”的专业培训活动组成-两个项目针对讲西班牙语的农场工人，一个提供NASD升级，第四个使用与记者的沉浸过程，以增加和改善媒体对儿童和农业的报道。 研究核心，由芭芭拉Marvila博士领导，将试点测试一个国家的法律限制青年拖拉机在公共道路上运行的评估。 我们拟议的活动将产生可衡量的切实成果。 我们有一个强大的跟踪记录和坚定不移的承诺，成功地解决儿童农业伤害预防的国家目标。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): With the updated action plan from the 2001 Summit on Childhood Agricultural Injury Prevention as the guiding framework, our Center's theme is Building Partnerships to Protect Children at Work and Children at Play on our Nation's Farms and Ranches. Through public-private sector partners, we will conduct outreach, prevention, education, and research projects that reflect geographic, ethnic, and cultural diversity of American agriculture. Special attention is given to Spanish-speaking migrant and immigrant farm worker children. Barbara Lee, PhD serves as the Center's Director and leader of the Administrative Core. A 10-member External Advisory group and seven Internal Advisors will guide strategies, apply feasibility funds, convene stakeholder meetings, and track progress. In addition to our external advisors and our core team, another 18 individuals have agreed to work on various projects and this number may grow. The Outreach Core, led by Christian Hanna, MPH, consists of three projects that use communication strategies, formal networking among national organizations, and consensus teams to generate "best practices" recommendations on eight different topics. The Intervention Core, directed by Mark Purschwitz, PhD, includes a demonstration project with employers of adolescent farm workers; and an evaluation of "Generations of Safe Farmers" intervention. Steven Kirkhorn, MD, leads the Education Core, consisting of four formal projects and several "joint-sponsored" professional training activities -- two projects address Spanish-speaking farm workers, one offers upgrades to the NASD, and the fourth uses an immersion process with journalists to increase and improve media coverage on children and agriculture. The Research Core, led by Barbara Marlenga, PhD, will pilot test an evaluation of a state law restricting youth tractor operations on public roads. Our proposed activities will yield measurable and tangible outcomes. We have a strong track record and unwavering commitment to successfully address national objectives for childhood agricultural injury prevention.
