National Committee for Childhood Agricultural Injury Prevention. 1996. Children and agriculture: Opportunities for safety and health—A national action plan. Marshfield, WI: Marshfield Clinic, 22 pp.

Annotation: This report presents an action plan which would reduce the number of agricultural injuries to children and adolescents involved in agriculture whether as workers or bystanders. It includes the objectives and makes recommendations for reducing the frequency and severity of childhood agricultural injuries. Side bars elaborate issues raised by the committee members while they were developing the plan; a key for each objective identifies stakeholders who may play a role in achieving that objective. The report includes biographical sketches of the committee members, bibliographical references, and suggested readings. [Funded in part by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau]
