Parents' safety beliefs and childhood agricultural injury.

Background: This study examined potential associations between parental safety beliefs and children's chore assignments or risk of agricultural injury.

Methods: Analyses were based on nested case-control data collected by the 1999 and 2001 Regional Rural Injury Study-II (RRIS-II) surveillance efforts. Cases (n = 425, reporting injuries) and controls (n = 1,886, no injuries; selected using incidence density sampling) were persons younger than 20 years of age from Midwestern agricultural households.

Subjects: Cases (n=425) and controls (n=1886) were persons younger than 20 years of age from Midwestern agricultural households.
