In 1994, the Iowa Farm Family Health and Hazard Surveillance Project carried out a two-stage, stratified, cluster survey of Iowa farms using a mail survey. With data from this representative sample of Iowa farmers, we examined the associations between farm-work-related injuries and possible risk factors for 390 principal farm operators. Forty (10.3%) of these operators reported being injured while doing farm work. We developed a logistic regression to assess associations between potential risk factors and injury. We found three factors significantly associated with injury: younger age (odds ratio [OR] = 3.1, confidence interval [CI] = 1.1-9.3), having an impairment or health problem that limits work (OR = 2.4, CI = 1.5-3.8), and hand or arm exposure to acids or alkalis (OR = 2.6, CI = 1.1-5.9). In the univariate analysis, safety training did not seem to protect farmers from injuries.
1994年，爱荷华州农场家庭健康与危害监测项目采用邮寄调查的方式，对爱荷华州的农场进行了两阶段、分层、整群抽样调查。利用来自爱荷华州农民这一代表性样本的数据，我们研究了390名主要农场经营者中与农场工作相关的伤害与可能的风险因素之间的关联。其中40名（10.3%）经营者报告在从事农场工作时受过伤。我们建立了一个逻辑回归模型来评估潜在风险因素与伤害之间的关联。我们发现有三个因素与伤害显著相关：年龄较小（优势比[OR]=3.1，置信区间[CI]=1.1 - 9.3）、存在限制工作的损伤或健康问题（OR = 2.4，CI = 1.5 - 3.8）以及手或手臂接触酸或碱（OR = 2.6，CI = 1.1 - 5.9）。在单变量分析中，安全培训似乎并不能保护农民免受伤害。
