"This document provides previously unavailable youth demographic, injury and asthma estimates at the national level for youth on racial minority operated farms in the U.S. A racial minority is defined as any person who is Black, Native American, Asian, or who are of “other” races. These data represent the initial step in developing research and prevention programs to reduce the burden of injury and asthma on racial minority farms in the U.S."
