“…Consistent with recent literature, agricultural injury surveillance lacks federal-level support, funding, and dissemination (28,29). While some datasets and methods have surfaced and shown increased utility, much discussion is underway among stakeholders and federal agency officials regarding ideal and optimal fatal and non-fatal injury surveillance strategies for the industry (4, 28,[30][31][32]. Meanwhile, several state-based "farm fatality reports" include child fatalities, whether the child was working at the time of the incident or not, capturing the integration of the worksite and home present on many family farms and household youth (33)(34)(35)(36).…”

The dissemination of childhood agricultural safety and health information and resources through organizations that farmers trust enhances implementation and the Socio-Ecological Model can help identify these organizations. However, to become effective partners in improving agricultural health and safety, organizations need to build capacity in child agricultural safety and health, thus, more information is needed about these organizations’ current practices, needs, and capacity for leadership, policy makers, and knowledge mobilization. An online survey was administered to organization leaders with an interest in child agricultural injury prevention, chosen through agricultural health and safety organization membership lists. Invitations to participate in the online survey were mailed to 95 organization leaders with three weekly reminders, resulting in participation from 50 organization leaders (53% response rate). Respondents indicated a high level of awareness of child agricultural injuries, yet few were actively engaged in injury prevention. When asked about “needs” for building capacity in injury prevention, over half (56%) identified a need for more promotion and dissemination of safety resources and strategies, including ATV safety, no extra riders on equipment, and keeping young children out of the worksite. The only topic that more than half of the organizations (54%) identified as “needing more information” was childhood agricultural injury surveillance. This assessment yielded valuable details for identifying opportunities, priorities, and topics for future collaborations and capacity building. Findings help inform national and international planning committees’ work, such as the next iteration of a US National Action Plan for Childhood Agricultural Injury Prevention, scheduled for release in 2024.

occupational health, occupational health services, rural health, rural health services, social determinants of health A recent article in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report 1 describes the Fatalities in Oil and Gas Extraction (FOG) database-an industryspecific database created to help researchers understand patterns of deaths among US oil and gas extraction (OGE) workers. Among other strengths, the database includes detailed geographic data on fatal incidents-a feature lacking in other systems that track workplace fatalities. It is clear that the majority of OGE worker fatalities occurred in rural micropolitan and noncore counties (Figure 1). This finding may not be surprising to people in the industry. However, it does raise questions about relationships between work, health, and rurality that are rarely explored explicitly or systematically.The uneven allocation of social and structural determinants of health (SDOH) across geographic space accounts for disparities in health outcomes among people living in urban and rural areas. 3 Employment is an SDOH that can impact health through working conditions, access to income, health insurance, a sense of meaning, and quality housing.
