A dearth of information exists in public health surveillance on the injury burden among Hispanic farm youth in the U.S. In this study, data were collected via a telephone survey with Hispanic farm operators sampled from the 1991 Census of Agriculture active list of farms. There were an estimated 307 nonfatal injuries among an estimated 21,631 youth less than 20 years old living on Hispanic-operated farms in the U.S., 2000. Males accounted for 73% of the injuries and had an injury rate of 20.2 compared to 8.2 per 1,000 for females. Injury rates were higher for work-related incidents than for nonwork, and this relationship was true for both males and females. Work and nonwork injury rates were also similar for youth < 10 and 10-15 years old, but for youth 16-19 years of age, the risk of injury for work-related incidents was higher than for nonwork. Livestock operations had a larger number of injuries and higher injury rates compared to crop operations. These data provide previously unavailable descriptive statistics for both the nonfatal injury burden and population estimate for youth on Hispanic-operated farms.
美国公共卫生监测中缺乏有关西班牙裔农场青年伤害负担的信息。在本研究中，通过对从1991年农业普查活跃农场名单中抽取的西班牙裔农场经营者进行电话调查来收集数据。2000年，在美国由西班牙裔经营的农场中，估计21,631名20岁以下青年中约有307起非致命伤害事件。男性占伤害事件的73%，伤害发生率为每千人20.2起，而女性为每千人8.2起。与非工作相关事件相比，工作相关事件的伤害发生率更高，男性和女性都是如此。10岁以下和10至15岁青年的工作和非工作伤害发生率也相似，但对于16至19岁的青年，工作相关事件的受伤风险高于非工作相关事件。与作物种植作业相比，畜牧作业的伤害事件数量更多，伤害发生率更高。这些数据提供了此前无法获得的有关西班牙裔经营农场青年非致命伤害负担和人口估计的描述性统计数据。
