To evaluate farm-related deaths among children in California and to identify specific risk factors, this study used death certificate tapes to identify 40 farm-related deaths among children under age 15 in California for 1980 to 1989. Mortality rates and odds ratios for cause-specific unintentional farm deaths were calculated. While California's farm-related mortality rate was lower than those in the midwestern states studied, the rate for Hispanic boys was 70% higher than that for non-Hispanics. The odds of death from machinery (81.3), animals (10.1), electricity (5.2), and nontraffic motor vehicles (3.4) were significantly greater than those in nonfarm locations; those from drowning were significantly lower (0.2). Specific factors associated with the lower California mortality rate need to be identified.
为评估加利福尼亚州儿童中与农场相关的死亡情况并确定具体风险因素，本研究使用死亡证明磁带，在1980年至1989年期间确定了加利福尼亚州15岁以下儿童中40例与农场相关的死亡。计算了特定原因的非故意农场死亡的死亡率和比值比。虽然加利福尼亚州与农场相关的死亡率低于所研究的中西部各州，但西班牙裔男孩的死亡率比非西班牙裔高出70%。死于机械（81.3）、动物（10.1）、电力（5.2）和非交通机动车辆（3.4）的几率显著高于非农场地区；溺水死亡的几率则显著较低（0.2）。需要确定与加利福尼亚州较低死亡率相关的具体因素。
