Sleep in Farm Adolescents
PURPOSE: The objectives were to: (1) describe sleep timing and patterns among adolescents who live or work on farms; (2) compare these sleep characteristics to those of nonfarm adolescents; (3) explore whether the above sleep and farm versus nonfarm differences varied by age and gender. METHODS: Participants were aged 11-16 years and were abstracted from the 2014 Canadian Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study. Records from 2,160 farm ado…
Who and How
Unfavorable economic and environmental conditions have fueled the development of mental health resources and services for farmers. However, it is unclear who farmers want mental health information from (senders) and how they want mental health information delivered (channels). A self-administered questionnaire was used to determine the preferred senders of mental health information and the preferred channels of mental health information. Farmers …
Health and Well‐Being Among Young People From Canadian Farms
PURPOSE: To determine whether patterns of adolescent risk behavior in rural populations, and especially farm populations, are associated with negative indicators of adolescent health and well-being, beyond an established association between risk-taking and injury. METHODS: The study base was Cycle 7 (2014) of the Canadian Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children study. Children aged 11-16 years (n = 2,565; 2,533 weighted) who reported living or w…
National Public Health Data Systems in the United States
PURPOSE: The United States has no comprehensive national surveillance system for fatal or nonfatal child agricultural injuries. Thus, important knowledge gaps exist about recurrent injury patterns that could provide targeted focus for prevention efforts. The purpose of this study was to explore existing US public health data systems to determine their utility with respect to informing child agricultural injury surveillance and primary prevention.…
Socioeconomic Status and Injury in a Cohort of Saskatchewan Farmers
PURPOSE: To estimate the strength of relationships between socioeconomic status and injury in a large Canadian farm population. METHODS: We conducted a prospective cohort study of 4,769 people from 2,043 farms in Saskatchewan, Canada. Participants reported socioeconomic exposures in 2007 and were followed for the occurrence of injury through 2009 (27 months). The relative hazards of time to first injury according to baseline socioeconomic status …
Impact of Long Farm Working Hours on Child Safety Practices in Agricultural Settings
OBJECTIVES: To characterize working hours of adult farm owner-operators and their spouses by season, and to examine associations between working hours and farm safety practices affecting children. METHODS: We conducted a secondary analysis of cross-sectional survey data collected as part of an existing study of injury and its determinants. RESULTS: Owner-operators reported a median of 60 to 70 hours of farm work per week during warm weather month…
Changing the Child Labor Laws for Agriculture
Objective. The child labor laws are intended to protect young workers from the most dangerous jobs. However, children who work on their parents’ farms are exempt from these laws. We evaluated the potential for preventing the occurrence of farm injuries among children by changing the US Federal Child Labor Laws, Hazardous Occupations Orders for Agriculture. Methods. A retrospective case series of 1193 farm injuries among children from the United S…
