Lesson improves rural students' knowledge of farm safety

Interactive exercises and visually-appealing props were integrated into the lesson. Materials sent to teachers and parents before and after the class were designed to help reinforce the safety concepts.

All agricultural questions where children scored less than 50 percent correct on the pretest increased to greater than 50 percent on the posttest. The percentages of correct answers increases from the pretest to the posttest for every question except one. Nearly all the participating classroom teachers rated the quality of the lesson and the MORE HEALTH instructors excellent.

According to Dr. Liller, the next steps include determining if the students' knowledge gains remain and if these gains result in behavioral changes in parents and children that reduce children's farm-related injuries and deaths.
