BACKGROUND
Little information exists on injury and factors associated with injury in working youth aged 10-14 years. Most studies do not involve children younger than 15.
METHODS
A cross-sectional anonymous survey was administered to middle school students in five school districts and one large urban school in October 2001.
RESULTS
Of the 3189 working middle school students who responded to the survey, the majority were employed in informal job settings, such as working for someone in a home, newspaper delivery, and working on family farms or in family businesses. Overall, 18% of children reported being injured at work. Of those injured, 26% reported that their injury was severe enough to affect their activities for more than three days. Variables that were associated with injury included having a "near-miss" incident at work (AOR 6.61, 95% CI 4.92 to 8.89), having a co-worker injured (AOR 2.65, 95% CI 1.95 to 3.60), and being asked to do something dangerous (AOR 2.25, 95% CI 1.61 to 3.14).
CONCLUSIONS
Children are working and being injured in jobs that are not covered by existing child labour laws. Injury rates in non-covered occupations are high, warranting review of current laws.
背景
关于10至14岁在职青少年的受伤情况及与受伤相关的因素，现有信息较少。大多数研究未涉及15岁以下儿童。
方法
2001年10月，对五个学区和一所大型城市学校的中学生进行了一项横断面匿名调查。
结果
在3189名回应调查的在职中学生中，大多数受雇于非正式工作环境，比如在别人家里干活、送报纸以及在家庭农场或家族企业工作。总体而言，18%的儿童报告在工作中受过伤。在那些受伤的儿童中，26%报告说他们的伤势严重到影响其活动超过三天。与受伤相关的变量包括在工作中发生“险些发生的事故”（比值比6.61，95%置信区间4.92至8.89）、有同事受伤（比值比2.65，95%置信区间1.95至3.60）以及被要求做危险的事情（比值比2.25，95%置信区间1.61至3.14）。
结论
儿童在现有童工法未涵盖的工作中工作并受伤。未涵盖职业的受伤率很高，有必要对现行法律进行审查。
