I-CASH Updates From the Field

Since 2003, Iowa’s Center for Agricultural Safety and Health has maintained this free listerv called Farm Families Alive & Well Updates. Originally developed for the AgriSafe Network nurses as a continuing education service, and now administered by I-CASH, it has become an efficient way for a variety of healthcare professionals to receive monthly abstracts from recent research publications on rural and agricultural health and safety issues. Upon request, subscribers will be sent the full-text articles.
