A population-based cross-sectional study of occupational injuries among a random sample of 287 migrant farmworkers demonstrated frequent obstacles to health care; 65% (11/17) of the more seriously injured subjects did not receive prompt care or never received care. Subjects not receiving prompt care were twice as likely to have incomplete recovery. Employers covered medical expenses for only 5/13 (38%) of the injured workers, and only 3/15 were compensated for lost work. This study indicates that comprehensive Workers' Compensation coverage is urgently needed in North Carolina.
一项基于人群的横断面研究，对287名流动农场工人的随机样本进行职业伤害调查，结果显示获得医疗保健存在诸多障碍；65%（11/17）受伤较重的受试者未得到及时治疗或从未接受过治疗。未得到及时治疗的受试者完全康复的可能性只有一半。雇主只为5/13（38%）的受伤工人支付了医疗费用，只有3/15的人获得了误工赔偿。这项研究表明，北卡罗来纳州迫切需要全面的工人赔偿保险。
