Terms of Clearance: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act, we have approved the use of this information collection instrument in Colorado. Due to the limited control group available in this study (existing information from the Colorado Behavioral Risk Factor Survey), this instrument will serve on to identify morbidity and mortality rates among farmers. NIOSH should refrain from linking illnesses and disease to farm exposures except in cases where clear linkages may be discerned (as in cases where such ailments are only caused by a specific exposure or where medical dianoses have been made). However, this survey will permit the reporti of farm-related injuries, due to the proximate nature of their cause a effect. Only if NIOSH develops more case-control epidemiologic evidenc will the Agency be able to link illnesses to exposures on the farm.
