Self-Management Strategies for Low Back Pain Among Horticulture Workers: Protocol for a Type II Hybrid Effectiveness-Implementation Study

Self-Management Strategies for Low Back Pain Among Horticulture Workers: Protocol for a Type II Hybrid Effectiveness-Implementation Study

Although some studies reported additive effects of improving physical activity or ergonomic adjustments [38], none focused on agriculture, nursery, or landscape workers. Collectively, there is a crucial need to determine optimal implementation of effective self-management programs for workers, especially for those who do not have resources to receive treatment in typical health care settings [39,40].

Multisite Agricultural Veterans Affairs Farming and Recovery Mental Health Services (VA FARMS) Pilot Program: Protocol for a Responsive Mixed Methods Evaluation Study

Multisite Agricultural Veterans Affairs Farming and Recovery Mental Health Services (VA FARMS) Pilot Program: Protocol for a Responsive Mixed Methods Evaluation Study

In addition, data about veteran enrollments, outreach activities, and community partnerships will be collected to describe the number of participants who receive VA and non-VA health care and resource referrals, and the number of participants who became employed in agriculture.

Combining Farmers’ Preferences With Evidence-Based Strategies to Prevent and Lower Farmers’ Distress: Co-design and Acceptability Testing of ifarmwell

Combining Farmers’ Preferences With Evidence-Based Strategies to Prevent and Lower Farmers’ Distress: Co-design and Acceptability Testing of ifarmwell

The research team was well-placed to prioritize learnings, given their extensive knowledge of agriculture (KMG, SB, JD, and AB), behavior change interventions (DT, CES, and KMG), web-based interventions (KG, CES, and SB), and rural health (KG, SB, JD, AB, and NH) and mental health (KMG and DT). A total of 11 male (11/18, 61%) and 7 female farmers (7/18, 39%), who met the above criteria, participated in the interviews.

Facebook Ads Manager as a Recruitment Tool for a Health and Safety Survey of Farm Mothers: Pilot Study

Facebook Ads Manager as a Recruitment Tool for a Health and Safety Survey of Farm Mothers: Pilot Study

Data obtained from the United States National Agricultural Statistics Service 2017 Census of Agriculture. This pilot project aimed to determine if Facebook Ads Manager could be a useful tool for recruiting samples of the agricultural population for online health and safety surveys. The current adoption of Facebook and other social media in the United States, as well as increasing rates of internet access, show promise for future research to be performed in part or entirely online.

Assessing the Emergent Public Health Concern of All-Terrain Vehicle Injuries in Rural and Agricultural Environments: Initial Review of Available National Datasets in the United States

Assessing the Emergent Public Health Concern of All-Terrain Vehicle Injuries in Rural and Agricultural Environments: Initial Review of Available National Datasets in the United States

The incidence of fatal and nonfatal injuries in the Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing industrial sector has become difficult to quantify, particularly after the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) discontinued national surveys of nonfatal injuries to self-employed farmers, ranchers, and children on farms.

Redesigning a Sentinel Surveillance System for Collecting and Disseminating Near Real-Time Agricultural Injury Reports: System Usability Study

Redesigning a Sentinel Surveillance System for Collecting and Disseminating Near Real-Time Agricultural Injury Reports: System Usability Study

Over the same time period, there has been no measurable decline in the number of childhood agricultural deaths [6], with a child dying in an agriculture-related incident about every 3 days [7-9]. These injuries and fatalities are costly; among children and youth ( Despite the documented risks, capturing injury and fatality data is increasingly difficult.

Farm Owners and Workers as Key Informants in User-Centered Occupational Health Prototype Development: A Stakeholder-Engaged Project

Farm Owners and Workers as Key Informants in User-Centered Occupational Health Prototype Development: A Stakeholder-Engaged Project

The growth of concentrated animal feeding operations has been a reality in modern agriculture for the past 2 decades [11]. As family farms expand or fold, more agricultural operations are hiring workers who face the risks inherent in the agricultural workplace [12]. In Wisconsin and elsewhere, this rural workforce has rapidly diversified to include more immigrant and Hispanic workers, primarily from Mexico [13,14].

Exposure to Pesticides and Health Effects on Farm Owners and Workers From Conventional and Organic Agricultural Farms in Costa Rica: Protocol for a Cross-Sectional Study

Exposure to Pesticides and Health Effects on Farm Owners and Workers From Conventional and Organic Agricultural Farms in Costa Rica: Protocol for a Cross-Sectional Study

Pesticides are extensively used in agriculture and for control of vector-borne diseases across the globe [1,2]. Current data from the Food and Agriculture Organization suggest that pesticide use is increasing globally, with its largest growth in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in tropical contexts [3].
