Abstract

Farm tractor safety and health education programs for adults have often assumed a relatively homogenous population. Our prior research findings suggest significant differences exist among young adults, middle-aged adults, and aged farm tractor operators in their formal education, years of experience, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors regarding tractor safety issues and physical fitness to use farm tractors safely. The authors suggest that it is important to consider these differences and to encourage active participation by tractor operators in program development, implementation, and evaluation to enhance the success and effectiveness of programs.
