Abstract：
Fatal and non-fatal youth (ages 0-17) injuries in U.S. agriculture continue to be a significant public health concern. Despite sustained work and attention from federally supported research programming, we continue to observe an unacceptably high number of life-altering and life-ending traumatic injuries to youth in agricultural environments. Likewise, there is still a gap in stringent systematic agricultural injury and/or illness surveillance at the federal level. This paper will provide an updated review of child agricultural injuries from U.S. news media reports, expanding upon this author team\'s initial 2018 report.
Data collection from 2016 to 2021 occurred as part of the AgInjuryNews initiative, and data were coded according to the Farm and Agricultural Injury Classification (FAIC) system and the Occupational Injury and Illness Classification System (OIICS). The AgInjuryNews system primarily contains news media reports. Categorical variables were analyzed and compared using a chi-square test. In addition, the Jonckheere-Terpstra test for trend was used to test the yearly change in the number of youth injuries.
We observed a general decrease in agricultural injuries compared to the original 2015-2017 dataset. Younger children (<5 years-old) and males were more often injured and more fatally injured than older children and females, respectively. Males and older victims were more likely to suffer an occupational-related injury compared to females and younger victims, respectively. Vehicles remained a major source of injuries, with tractors comprising 28%, and ATVs/UTVs comprising 26% of all injuries. Roadway incidents involving tractors and UTVs were less often fatal compared to non-roadway incidents, while ATVs were more fatal on roadways.
This updated review shows childhood agricultural injuries and fatalities continue to be a major public health concern within the US. It is unclear if the trend downward in injuries is due to reporting, data capture methods, or a true decrease in injuries. These data continue to be of interest to stakeholders in academia, public health, government, and private industry-user groups who regularly and consistently seek this type of information, often from multiple data sources, including as registered users on AgInjuryNews.org. These data identify emerging issues within the industry and further inform national and international planning committees\' work.

摘要：
美国农业中的致命和非致命青年（0-17岁）伤害仍然是一个重大的公共卫生问题。尽管联邦政府支持的研究计划持续开展工作和关注，我们继续观察到在农业环境中对青年造成的改变生命和结束生命的创伤数量高得令人无法接受。同样，在联邦一级，严格的系统性农业伤害和/或疾病监测仍然存在差距。本文将从美国新闻媒体的报道中提供有关儿童农业伤害的最新评论，扩大作者团队2018年的初步报告。
2016年至2021年的数据收集是AgInjuryNews计划的一部分，根据农场和农业伤害分类（FAIC）系统和职业伤害和疾病分类系统（OIICS）对数据进行编码。AgInjuryNews系统主要包含新闻媒体的报道。使用卡方检验对分类变量进行分析和比较。此外,Jonckheere-Terpstra趋势测试用于测试青年受伤人数的年度变化。
与原始的2015-2017年数据集相比，我们观察到农业伤害总体下降。与年龄较大的儿童和女性相比，年龄较小的儿童（<5岁）和男性受伤的频率更高，并且受到的致命伤害更大。分别。与女性和年轻受害者相比，男性和老年受害者更有可能遭受与职业有关的伤害，分别。车辆仍然是受伤的主要来源，拖拉机占28%，ATV/UTV占所有伤害的26％。与非道路事故相比，涉及拖拉机和UTV的道路事故通常不那么致命，而全地形车在公路上更致命。
此最新评论显示，儿童农业伤害和死亡仍然是美国主要的公共卫生问题。目前尚不清楚受伤下降的趋势是否是由于报告，数据捕获方法，或真正减少伤害。这些数据继续引起学术界利益相关者的兴趣，公共卫生,政府,和私营行业用户团体，他们经常和一致地寻求这种类型的信息，通常来自多个数据源，包括AgInjuryNews.org上的注册用户。这些数据确定了行业内正在出现的问题，并进一步为国家和国际规划委员会的工作提供信息。
