Building A Comprehensive, Longitudinal Dataset to Advance Research on the Efficacy of State-Level Anti-bullying Legislation
Bullying is one of the most common forms of youth violence and is associated with myriad adverse consequences over the life course. There has been increasing interest in examining whether anti-bullying legislation is effective in preventing bullying victimization and its negative effects. However, a lack of data structures that comprehensively and longitudinally assess anti-bullying legislation and its provisions has hampered this effort. We prov…

We estimated excess mortality in 2020 to 2021 for critical occupations in different racial groups and vaccine rollout phases using death certificates and occupational employment rates for 2017 to 2021. Results. Excess mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic was higher for workers in critical occupations…
Farm vehicle crashes on public roads
PURPOSE: Rural public roads experience higher crash fatality rates than other roadways, with agricultural equipment adding greater risk of injury and fatality. This study set out to describe farmers' experiences with farm equipment crashes and predictors of crashes at the farm level. METHODS: A survey of farm operators was conducted in 9 Midwestern states (IL, IA, KS, MN, MO, NE, ND, SD, and WI) in collaboration with the US Department of Agricult…
Identifying research Participation effects through qualitative methods
Research participation effects (RPEs)—effects due to study design rather than study intervention—have long been acknowledged as a research phenomenon. Identifying RPEs is crucial to understanding the true effects of an intervention and outcomes may change during dissemination. Few researchers systematically identify the potential role of RPEs on their research findings, despite recent calls to capture these effects. This study demonstrates the ut…
The Associations Between Older Driver Licensure Laws with Travel and Passenger Behaviors Among Adults Aged 65 Years or Older (United States, 2003–2017)
In general, licensure law provisions are not strongly related to older adults' mobility, in particular for older male adults. Older female adults' daily mobility may be more likely to be influenced by the change of licensure laws than older male adults. The existence of gender-based disparities in responding to licensure laws requires future studies to account for the gender difference in estimating the effects of those traffic policies on older …
Parental perceptions of gender differences in child technology use and cyberbullying
Cyberbullying is a major health concern for today's youth and a pervasive stressor for adolescents and their families. This study offers qualitative insights into how parents perceive their children's technology use and engagement in cyberbullying based on gender. Eight focus groups were conducted with 48 parents of adolescents ages 10–17. Findings indicated parents perceived their children overuse technology and lack awareness of what cyberbully…
Trends and Characteristics of Occupational Suicide and Homicide in Farmers and Agriculture Workers, 1992–2010
OBJECTIVE: We examined work-related homicides and suicides among farm operators/workers in the United States from 1992 to 2010. METHODS: Work-related homicide and suicide cases from 1992 to 2010 were obtained from the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries. To calculate rates, denominator data on the US working population were also obtained from 2003 to 2010 Current Population Survey. Logistic regression was used to identify factors that were diff…
Characteristics of Farm Equipment‐Related Crashes Associated With Injury in Children and Adolescents on Farm Equipment
PURPOSE: Operating or riding on farm equipment is one of the leading causes of farm-related injuries and fatalities among children and adolescents. The aim of this study is to examine environment, crash, vehicle, and occupant characteristics and the probability of injury, given a crash, in youth under age 18 on farm equipment. METHOD: Data from the Departments of Transportation on farm equipment-related crashes across 9 Midwestern states from 200…
Adverse childhood experiences and trauma informed care
Motivating rural older residents to prepare for disasters
In the United States of America (USA), older adults in rural areas are at increased risk for adverse outcomes of disasters, partly due to medical needs, limited or long geographic distances from community resources, and less knowledge and motivation about preparedness steps. Older residents and ageing service providers in a rural community in the USA were interviewed regarding their perceptions about disasters and preparedness, and their reaction…
Characteristics of Work‐ and Non‐work‐Related Farm Injuries
PURPOSE: Farm-related injuries are an important public health problem in agriculture because of their impact on individuals, families, and farm operations. While surveillance programs such as the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries is available to track fatal agricultural injuries, more work is needed to examine the burden of nonfatal agricultural injuries. METHODS: Data involving agricultural injuries were collected from the Iowa Trauma Regist…

Methods: We analyzed data from the Keokuk County Rural Health Study collected among parents of children age 17 or younger. Parents were interviewed separately regarding the age of their children's involvement in 14 selected agr…
Accountability and Assessment of Emergency Drill Performance at Schools
Many schools throughout the United States are mandated to hold drills, or operational exercises, to prepare for fires, earthquakes, violence, and other emergencies. However, drills have not been assessed for their effectiveness in improving preparedness at schools. This mixed-methods study measures the quantity and the quality of drills in an urban school district in Los Angeles. Compliance with California mandates was fair; most schools barely m…
