• Description:
  The Southeast Center for Agricultural Health and Injury Prevention founded in 1992 is located at the University of Kentucky (UK), a land-grant campus that houses the Colleges of Agriculture, Medicine, Nursing, Public Health and Arts and Sciences among others all on one campus. This unique situation allows the Center to focus on multidisciplinary collaboration from agriculture, public health, epidemiology, biology, engineering, education, forestry, communications, nursing, medicine, and Cooperative Extension within UK as well as across universities in the Southeast including Auburn, East Carolina University, North Carolina State University, North Carolina A&T, West Virginia University. The Center's theme, "Multidisciplinary partnerships to improve agricultural safety and health in the Southeast," places emphasis on serving vulnerable farm populations while addressing persistent and emerging agricultural/forestry and fishing safety concerns unique to the 10 southeastern states of AL, FL, GA, KY, MS, NC, SC, TN, VA and WV. The Center expects to have a substantial impact on the prevention of injuries from tractor overturns, reduction of logging injuries and fatalities, surveillance and risk evaluation of emerging issues such as agriculture-related antibiotic resistant infections, the development of widespread multidisciplinary training to increase the number of professionals skilled in addressing health and safety issues faced by agricultural workers and their families and to extend its outreach and programs to address the health and safety needs of the varied fishing industry across its region.
