The Kids Count Farm Safety Lesson significantly improved fifth-graders' knowledge of farm safety topics, including animal and machinery hazards. This rural Florida study confirms the curriculum

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Safety
  • Pediatric Health Education

Background:

  • Farm-related injuries pose a significant risk to children in agricultural communities.
  • A gap exists in evaluating elementary-level farm safety curricula.
  • Rural Florida schools serve a population including migrant children who may have unique safety needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the Kids Count Farm Safety Lesson.
  • To assess knowledge gains in fifth-grade students regarding farm safety.
  • To determine the suitability of integrating farm safety into elementary health education.

Main Methods:

  • A staggered pretest-posttest design was implemented across 15 rural Florida elementary schools.
  • Nearly 2,000 fifth-grade students participated.

  • Safety knowledge was assessed using multiple-choice tests.

    • Main Results:

    • A statistically significant increase in mean correct answers was observed from pretest to posttest.
    • No significant difference was found between students who took the pretest and those who did not, indicating no pretest effect.
    • The curriculum effectively improved understanding of animal, machinery, water, and general farm safety.

    Conclusions:

    • The Kids Count Farm Safety Lesson is an effective tool for enhancing farm safety knowledge in elementary students.
    • Integrating agricultural safety into school health curricula is recommended.
    • The study population included migrant schoolchildren, highlighting the curriculum's broad applicability.
