abstract="OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to explore behavioral and mental health outcomes among a sample of farmers living in the United States and compare differences between male and female farmers. <br><br>METHODSAn online cross-sectional survey was distributed within the farming community by researchers, farming consultants, and community partners. Chi-Square and ANOVA analyses were used to explore relationships between variables of interest. <br><br>RESULTS: Female survey respondents reported significantly higher perceived stress, and significantly lower resilience than their male counterparts. A significant interaction effect was observed between gender and farm roles on alcohol consumption patterns, with female farm owners and managers reporting binge drinking behavior most frequently. <br><br>CONCLUSION: This study identified distinct differences between respondents in terms of stress, resilience, and alcohol consumption patterns, based on both gender and occupational roles.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
