• Description:
  This study was conducted among agricultural operation households to identify the short- and long-term physical, psychosocial, and economic consequences of injuries among children/youths living in the households and the burden on the overall operations. Baseline data, collected in Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska for 1,474 eligible agricultural households, used computer assisted telephone interview instruments; two six-month injury data collection periods followed baseline collection. Respective child/youth case and control households, for these two six-month periods were: 1) 100 cases (122 Injuries), 366 controls; and 2) 115 cases (138 injuries), 414 controls. Short-term consequences within the 6-month injury reporting periods were: 35% of children and 7% of other household members lost agricultural work time, while 5% and 7%, respectively, lost non-agricultural work time. Evaluation data were collected annually for the subsequent two years. Comparing case and control households, analyses focused on changes in lost work time among household members caring for an injured or ill child, between baseline and follow-up interviews. Confounders were selected for multiple logistic regression analyses using directed acyclic graphs; reweighting adjusted for response and eligibility biases. At one-year post-injury, case households were twice as likely as control households to have increased lost time from operation-related work due to a child's health issues (O.R. 2.1, 95% C.I. 1.1-4.1). There was no effect on household income during the same time period. [Description provided by NIOSH]
