NAWS: National Agricultural Workers Survey.

b

p Value: Wald's chi-square test.

c

Adjusted odds ratio (ORADJ) where injury = 1 divided by weeks of farm work to incorporate an occupational exposure adjustment.

d

Covariate age increased the ORADJ of foreign-born by 12% and decreased the ORADJ of English-speaking ability “well” by 5% (period I).

e

Covariate sex decreased the ORADJ of “clean drinking water and disposable cups every day” by 5% (period II).

f

Covariate foreign-born decreased the ORADJ of “own dwelling in U.S” by 6% (period II).

g

Covariate foreign-born increased the ORADJ of “own dwelling in U.S.” by 10% (period III).
