Researchers at the University of New Mexico, College of Population Health are interested in learning about the national impact of COVID-19 on USDA-certified organic principal operators/producers. Results of this survey will be used to inform future actions and guidance to protect and support organic farmers through the COVID-19 pandemic.
Factors that may compromise the health and safety of organic farmers differ from those of non-organic farmers. These differences go beyond the use of organic pesticides and organic inputs to include practices and psychosocial and contextual factors that may be unique to the organic farmer. The overall aim of this study is to develop, validate and administer a comprehensive survey that identifies and typifies health and safety risks among organic producers in the SW Ag region and provides information on the occupational, psychosocial and contextual factors that may contribute to injury and disease prevention. The Organic Farmers Safety, Health and Life survey study, is funded by NIOSH through the Юго-западный центр сельскохозяйственного здравоохранения, профилактики травм и образования (ЮЗ Агроцентр).
Это исследование направлено на понимание воздействия пандемии COVID-19 на органических фермеров в пяти штатах: Нью-Мексико, Техас, Оклахома, Арканзас и Луизиана. Вопросы, охватывающие четыре области: распространенность, превентивное поведение, сопутствующий ущерб и устойчивость, были разработаны и введены вместе с обследованием безопасности, здоровья и жизни органических фермеров. Это исследование финансируется NIOSH за счет гранта SW Ag Center.

Agriculture is one of the most dangerous occupations. There is a significant opportunity for injury, disease, and mortality in the agricultural industry, including organic farming. The aim of this pilot project is to collaboratively develop, implement, and evaluate a health and safety training module to address the specific health and safety needs of organic and traditional farmers. This project is collaborating with the Grow the Grower Program, a farm training and business acceleration program in Bernalillo County.
Финансирование этого исследования было поддержано Юго-западным центром сельскохозяйственного здравоохранения, профилактики травм и образования в рамках соглашения о сотрудничестве № U54-OH007541 от CDC / NIOSH.

Funded by the Office of Substance Abuse and Prevention (OSAP), the program aims at reducing substance use risk and increasing resiliency through the Стратегическая сеть адвокатов по предотвращению самоубийств и злоупотребления психоактивными веществами (СНАП-СА), a multi-agency community coalition. Current strategies focus on underage drinking and prescription misuse through media campaigns, enforcement, education, training, and policy change. The COPH APEL Unit serves as an external evaluator for the program.
