Date Published: 2002
The 2001 Summit on Childhood Agricultural Injury Prevention was directed by the National Children's Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety. The goal of the Summit was to propose specific injury prevention strategies based on knowledge gained from research and interventions undertaken since the endorsement of the 1996 National Action Plan, Children and Agriculture: Opportunities for Safety and Health. Nearly 100 farmers, growers, professors, physicians, adolescents, and safety professionals, along with representatives of agricultural organizations and federal agencies, participated in the process of developing this report. They produced plans for a coordinated, comprehensive effort to prevent agricultural-related injuries among children and adolescents who live on, visit, and/or work on farms and ranches.
