SUMMARY:A Research Update from the Agricultural Health Study: Recent Findings\, Current Work\, and Future Plans
DESCRIPTION:It has been over 25 years since participants first enrolled in the Agricultural Health Study (AHS) cohort; in 1993-97\, a total of 89\,655 individuals joined the study\, including 52\,394 private pesticide applicators (mostly farmers) and 32\,345 of their spouses from North Carolina and Iowa\, and 4\,916 commercial applicators from Iowa. The cohort has been followed through 3 surveys (1999-2003\, 2005-2010\, and 2012-2015) and regular linkages to databases to assess both cancer and non-cancer health outcomes\, such as respiratory\, autoimmune\, endocrine\, and neurological diseases. Participants provided detailed data on pesticide use and other agricultural exposures at enrollment and in the first two follow-up surveys\, and numerous research papers have investigated potential disease associations. Many participants have also contributed to special studies\, including recent projects on Lung Health\, Biomarkers of Exposure and Effect\, and Memory and Aging. This presentation will highlight a selection of recent findings from the AHS (i.e.\, in the past 5 years)\, including a focus on non-cancer outcomes as well as recent cancer and mortality findings\, and will describe current and future research priorities. \nAt the end of this webinar participants will be able to: \n\n An overview of the study design and the assessment of exposures and health outcomes\nScope of research and selected findings on non-cancer health outcomes\nHighlights of recent mortality and cancer findings\nDescription of current and future research priorities\n\n  \n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.

SUMMARY:Proactive and Reactive Society: Focus on Rural Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:Stress and anxiety over things we have no control over can overwhelm us to the point where we have no energy left to focus on the things we do have control over. Being 5% healthier may not seem like much of an improvement however\, it’s still better than the alternative which is no improvement. That often times turns into a worse-case scenario. Ted will emphasize simple tools to help break the stagnant cycle and how to strengthen family bonds during times of crisis. \nRural healthcare providers and safety professionals have an important role to play in supporting people experiencing stress or mental health challenges. Come listen as Ted Matthews talks about what we can do to be proactive and prepare ahead of crisis. Ted understands the demands farmers face because he counsels farmers in a plethora of areas from crisis intervention to helping farmers relate to their families and workers to better utilize their resources.  If you’re a rural health professional looking to integrate mental health counseling in your care\, take time to listen to Ted’s experiences.  He will help you rethink your approach to providing mental health support. \n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.

SUMMARY:Increasing the Use of Hearing Protection Among Farmers: Best Practices
DESCRIPTION:Farm operators\, as well as farm youth\, experience frequent exposure to high noise and have among the highest rates of hearing loss among all categories of workers. Additionally\, noise exposure impacts multiple organ systems\, contributing to cardiovascular disease\, hypertension\, obesity\, and other highly prevalent diseases. Although the effects of noise can be mitigated through use of hearing protection and other strategies\, these methods are highly underused in this worker group. Nurses in a variety of clinical settings who provide care for farm operators and farm youth are in a unique position to influence the noise mitigation behaviors of this high-risk and underserved group. In this webinar designed for nurses caring for workers in production agriculture\, learners will discuss methods of assessing worker exposure to hazardous noise\, and evidence-based nursing approaches to protect workers from the negative effects of noise on hearing and worker well-being. \nAt the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nDiscuss several risk factors for noise-induced health problems common among farmers.\nDescribe major features of interventions shown to be effective in influencing farmers’ use of hearing protection.\nDiscuss best practices for clinical application of farm noise mitigation effectiveness research.\n\n  \n This training has expired.
