National estimates of youth and injuries on U.S. farms, 2012
Hendricks KJ , Layne LA , Goldcamp EM . J Agric Saf Health 2018 24 (4) 261-269 The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), in order to provide injury surveillance for youth on farms in the U.S., partnered with the USDA to conduct the Childhood Agricultural Injury Survey (CAIS). CAIS data for all farm youth less than 20 years of age have been collected intermittently since 1998. CAIS data from 2012 indicated that an estimated 25.9 million youth lived on, worked on, or visited U.S. farms. These youth experienced almost 14,000 injuries while on the farm. The majority of these injuries occurred to males (7,290) and youth between the ages of 10 and 15 years (5,766). Approximately 20% (2,739) of the injuries were related to work being done on the farm. Youth living on the farm incurred 56% (7,784) of the injuries. An additional 5,771 injuries occurred to hired and visiting youth. Although youth injuries on farms have declined, the numbers are still unacceptably high. Additional research and detailed assessments of subsets of the youth population would help to better direct safety intervention programs and focus future research activities. |
Injury surveillance for youth on farms in the U.S., 2006
Hendricks KJ , Goldcamp EM . J Agric Saf Health 2010 16 (4) 279-91 In order to provide injury surveillance for youth on farms in the U.S., the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), in partnership with the USDA, developed the Childhood Agricultural Injury Survey (CAIS). CAIS data for all youth less than 20 years of age on farms have been collected for the calendar years of 1998, 2001, 2004, and 2006. CAIS data from 2006 indicated that an estimated 30.7 million youth lived on, worked on, or visited U.S. farms. These youth experienced almost 23,000 injuries while on the farm. The majority of these injuries occurred to males (15,223) and youth between the ages of 10 and 15 years (10,158). Approximately 25% (5,773) of the injuries were related to work being done on the farm. Youth living on the farm incurred 51% (11,654) of the injuries, hired youth sustained 6% (1,363), and 40% were to visiting youth (9,729). Although youth injuries on farms have declined by 30% since 1998, the numbers are still unacceptably high. Further in-depth evaluation of subsets of the youth population may serve to better direct safety intervention programs and research. |
Work-related non-fatal injuries to adults on farms in the U.S., 2001 and 2004
Goldcamp EM . J Agric Saf Health 2010 16 (1) 41-51 The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), in an ongoing effort to address the issue of injuries on farms in the U.S., collaborated with the USDA to complete the 2001 and 2004 Occupational Injury Surveillance of Production Agriculture Surveys (OISPAS). The OISPAS data indicated that the estimated adult working population (household and hired) on U.S. farms decreased from 6,170,940 in 2001 to 5,294,912 in 2004. The estimated number of work-related injuries decreased from 75,756 to 71,081. The rate of injury increased over this same time period (12.3 injuries per 1,000 working adults to 13.4 injuries per 1,000 working adults). The majority of these injuries occurred to adults in the age range of 45 to 54 years. The vast majority of injuries occurred to males, over 75% in both years. Animals (17%) and the ground (17%) were the source of injury in approximately 35% of injuries reported in each year. The most common injury events were"struck by objects"; and falls. These two events combined accounted for over half of all work-related injuries in both 2001 and 2004. The OISPAS data indicated that although injuries are decreasing as the size of the at-risk population decreases, the rate of injury is increasing. The results of this research may be used to direct current injury prevention efforts and to plan for future injury surveillance. |
Youth living on Hispanic-operated farms: injuries and population estimates in the U.S., 2000
Layne LA , Goldcamp EM , Myers JR , Hendricks KJ . J Agric Saf Health 2009 15 (4) 377-88 A dearth of information exists in public health surveillance on the injury burden among Hispanic farm youth in the U.S. In this study, data were collected via a telephone survey with Hispanic farm operators sampled from the 1991 Census of Agriculture active list of farms. There were an estimated 307 nonfatal injuries among an estimated 21,631 youth less than 20 years old living on Hispanic-operated farms in the U.S., 2000. Males accounted for 73% of the injuries and had an injury rate of 20.2 compared to 8.2 per 1,000 for females. Injury rates were higher for work-related incidents than for nonwork, and this relationship was true for both males and females. Work and nonwork injury rates were also similar for youth < 10 and 10-15 years old, but for youth 16-19 years of age, the risk of injury for work-related incidents was higher than for nonwork. Livestock operations had a larger number of injuries and higher injury rates compared to crop operations. These data provide previously unavailable descriptive statistics for both the nonfatal injury burden and population estimate for youth on Hispanic-operated farms. |
