The authors report here results from the first follow-up survey of the Mexican Immigration to California: Agricultural Safety and Acculturation (MICASA) cohort of community-dwelling immigrant Hispanic farm workers in California's Central Valley. Among 560 participants the authors observed cumulative 1-year injury incidence of 6.6% (all injuries) and 4.3% (agricultural injuries). Increased prospective injury risk was associated with males, US birth, years lived in the United States, family income, and poor self-rated health. Agricultural injuries were associated most frequently with being struck by an object, falls, and cutting instruments, whereas over two thirds of nonagricultural injuries involved motor vehicles. Prevention should focus on safe handling of tools and materials, falls, and motor vehicle safety.
农业安全和文化适应（MICASA）队列的首次随访调查结果。在 560 名参与者中，作者观察到 1 年的累积受伤发生率为 6.6％（所有伤害）和 4.3％（农业伤害）。前瞻性受伤风险增加与男性，美国出生，在美国生活的年数，家庭收入和自我评估健康状况有关。农业伤害最常与被物体撞击，跌倒和切割工具有关，而超过三分之二的非农业伤害与机动车辆有关。预防措施应侧重于安全处理工具和材料，防止跌倒和机动车辆安全。
