Abstract:
Driver, vehicle, public road, and farm enterprise characteristics were examined for their combined association with farm vehicle public road crash group membership. North Carolina farms experiencing a public road crash from 1992 to 2003 (n=200) were compared with a non-crash control group (n=185) for a 1:1 case:control ratio. Five characteristics were associated with increased odds of crash group membership in the combined model (likelihood ratio=175.95; d.f.=15; p<.001): use of non-English speaking drivers (OR=3.71); use of non-family hired help drivers (OR=4.25); types of non-farm vehicle public road use (OR=1.39); farm injury history (OR=1.33); and, use of younger farm vehicle drivers (OR=1.02). Farms reporting older farm vehicle drivers (OR=0.97), and low farm income (OR=0.29) were less likely crash group members. Recommendations are discussed for incorporating findings into farm vehicle crash prevention research and interventions.
