OBJECTIVES
To describe all terrain vehicle (ATV) ownership, access, use, and safety behaviours in rural Manitoba children.
METHODS
Questionnaire administered to a convenience sample of grade 6 students attending an agricultural fair.
RESULTS
162 grade 6 children participated. The mean age was 11.4 years, and 46% were male. 125 students (77%) reported having access to ATVs, including 69 four wheeled, 24 three wheeled, and four both three and four wheeled ATVs. ATV experience was reported in 95 students, significantly more often in males and among those with a family owned ATV, with no difference between children living on a farm and in a town. Use of helmets and protective clothing was inadequate (10-40%), and dangerous riding habits common, with males and children living on a farm reporting significantly fewer desirable behaviours.
CONCLUSIONS
ATVs are commonly used by children in rural Manitoba, with inadequate protective gear and dangerous riding habits. Mandatory rider training, consumer and dealer education, and legislation enforcement could improve ATV safety in this population.
目的
描述加拿大曼尼托巴省农村儿童的全地形车（ATV）拥有情况、获取途径、使用情况及安全行为。
方法
对参加农业展会的六年级学生便利样本进行问卷调查。
结果
162名六年级儿童参与调查。平均年龄为11.4岁，46%为男性。125名学生（77%）报告称可以使用全地形车，其中包括69辆四轮车、24辆三轮车以及4辆兼具三轮和四轮的全地形车。95名学生报告有全地形车使用经验，男性以及拥有家庭全地形车的学生中使用经验更为常见，生活在农场和城镇的儿童之间无差异。头盔和防护服的使用不足（10 - 40%），危险骑行习惯常见，男性和生活在农场的儿童报告的良好行为显著较少。
结论
加拿大曼尼托巴省农村儿童普遍使用全地形车，防护装备不足且骑行习惯危险。强制性骑手培训、对消费者和经销商的教育以及执法可以改善该人群的全地形车安全状况。
