Agricultural injuries among farm and non‐farm children and adolescents in Alberta, Canada
Background Understanding of the specific risk of agricultural injury sustained by different populations of children and adolescents is needed for effective safety intervention. Objective To compare the rates and patterns of agricultural injury incidence (fatal and non‐fatal injury) between farm and...

Objective To compare the rates and patterns of agricultural injury incidence (fatal and non‐fatal injury) between farm and non‐farm children less than 18 years of age in Alberta, Canada. Methods A total of 115 378 children (five subgroups: two groups of farm children and three groups of non‐farm children) in Alberta were followed from 1999 to 2010 to examine injury incidence using the linkage of three administrative health databases.

The age‐ and gender‐adjusted rate (per 100 000 person years) of agricultural injury was 672.3 for rural‐living farm children, 369.4 for urban‐living farm children, 180.2 for rural non‐First Nations (FN) children, 64.4 for rural FN children, and 23.7 for urban children in descending order. Conclusion Specific strategies for different children's populations to prevent agricultural injuries and to extend agricultural injury controls to non‐farming populations are needed.
