Telephone interviews were conducted with 146 14- to 16-year-olds who incurred an occupational injury treated in an emergency department during the period July through September 1992. Thirty-two percent of the injuries occurred as the result of using equipment. Over half the workers reported not having received prior training on how to avoid injury. The injury limited normal activities for at least 1 day for 68% of the youth and for more than a week for 25%, corresponding to an estimated 6,208 (95% CI: 4,277, 8,139) and 2,639 (95% CI: 1,580, 3,699) youths nationwide, respectively. Employment in retail trades, equipment use, lack of training, and burn injuries were associated with increased limitation of normal activities. Nineteen percent of the youths appear to have been injured in jobs declared to be hazardous, or typically prohibited for their age (14- and 15-year-olds) under federal child labor laws. The prohibited job directly contributed to the injury in 64% of these cases.
对1992年7月至9月期间在急诊科接受治疗的146名14至16岁职业受伤青少年进行了电话访谈。32%的受伤是使用设备导致的。超过一半的工人报告称未接受过如何避免受伤的先前培训。68%的青少年受伤使正常活动受限至少1天，25%的青少年受伤使正常活动受限超过一周，在全国范围内分别对应约6208名（95%置信区间：4277, 8139）和2639名（95%置信区间：1580, 3699）青少年。从事零售业、使用设备、缺乏培训和烧伤与正常活动受限增加有关。19%的青少年似乎在被宣布为危险的工作中受伤，或者根据联邦童工法，这些工作通常禁止他们这个年龄（14岁和15岁）的人从事。在这些案例中，64%的情况下，被禁止的工作直接导致了受伤。
