To provide data on the magnitude and patterns of animal related on-farm injuries to youth in the United States.
A survey of 26,000 farm households conducted for the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health by the United States Department of Agriculture in 1998.
Youth younger than 20 years of age.
There were an estimated 6,438 animal related on-farm injuries to youth in 1998. 70% occurred to farm residents; 69% were work related. Males accounted for 64% and approximately 41% occurred to those younger than 10; 37% involved horses and 31% cattle. Most horse related injuries occurred to females and a majority of the cattle related injuries were to males. Additionally, most of the cattle related injuries were work related, while horse related injuries were mainly nonwork.
One out of every five youth injuries occurring on farms in the United States is animal related. These animal related injuries were due to both work and non-work related exposures. The large number of horse and cattle related injuries highlights a need for intervention strategies based on the injury circumstances common to these animals.
提供有关美国农场中青少年动物相关伤害的规模和模式的数据。
1998年美国农业部为国家职业安全与健康研究所对26000个农户进行的一项调查。
20岁以下的青少年。
1998年估计有6438例青少年农场动物相关伤害。70%发生在农场居民中；69%与工作有关。男性占64%，约41%发生在10岁以下儿童中；37%涉及马匹，31%涉及牛。大多数与马相关的伤害发生在女性身上，大多数与牛相关的伤害发生在男性身上。此外，大多数与牛相关的伤害与工作有关，而与马相关的伤害主要与非工作有关。
在美国农场发生的青少年伤害中，五分之一与动物有关。这些与动物相关的伤害既与工作有关，也与非工作相关暴露有关。大量与马和牛相关的伤害凸显了基于这些动物常见伤害情况制定干预策略的必要性。
