to evaluate it. If this approach can be used in other studies of fisheries in other
regions of the country it will provide an important advance in comparative risk
and in focusing interventions.
INTERMEDIATE OUTCOMES
Child Labor
Surveillance activities have been influential in defining what types of outreach
and research programs on childhood injury and prevention were needed. The
data generated have been used by NCCRAHS and other programs, such as Farm
Safety 4 Just Kids and the National Safe Kids Campaign. The data have been cited
in proposed congressional legislation, and the Children's Act for Responsible Em-
ployment (CARE) Act (HR 3482).
The AFF Program has been actively involved with child labor HOs and the
dissemination of information about the HOs. A number of stakeholder groups
including government agencies, the Young Worker Health and Safety Network,
the Farmworker Justice Fund, and the ILO have used data and recommendations
on the HOs to support recommendations to reduce the risk of injury to young
workers in agriculture.
Migrants
Five testimonials given after a 2006 pesticide training workshop are offered as
examples of the intended use of extramural AFF Program efforts. All the testimo-
nials are complimentary, but they do not constitute program evaluation results,
and they constitute merely a collection of comments made by participants in a
training workshop. These intermediate outcomes address a small percentage of
the overall activities involving migrant workers that have been conducted by the
AFF Program.
Logging
Results of investigations of helicopter logging fatalities offered sound informa-
tion that was used by an interagency group in Alaska and other agencies, including
the Future Farmers of America, the USDA Forest Service, and the Alaska Depart-
ment of Labor. Three workshops were held in 1995, 1996, and 1997 by the Alaska
Interagency Working Group for the Prevention of Occupational Injuries and the
AFF Program. A Helicopter Logging Safety Committee was formed in 1997 with
support from the Helicopter Association International (HAI) and has established
