Traditionally efforts have attempted to persuade farmers through education or community awareness interventions. These efforts have lead to marginal change. In response, a social marketing approach was tested as a means for increasing interest in ROPS retrofitting in New York. Methods: An initial phone survey was conducted with a random sample of New York farmers to identify a potential target population. Following target selection, in-depth interviews were conducted to isolate barriers and motivators to retrofitting. This information was used to develop message prototypes which were tested in small focus group discussions. Selected and revised messages, as well as various other incentives developed in response to feedback from interviews, were then tested in a prospective, quasi-randomized controlled trial. Results: Small crop and livestock farms were selected as the intervention target since they represent 86% of New York farms with none or only one ROPS protected tractor. Barriers to retrofitting which were identified in interviews were: 1) constant exposures normalize risk, 2) risk is modeled by significant others and 3) safety in general and retrofitting in particular requires too much time and money. The piloting of ROPS incentives led to a marked increase in ROPS sales in New York. Conclusions: Social Marketing provides a promising framework for the design of agricultural injury prevention programs. The potential implications for other health initiatives seeking to promote behaviour change are also discussed. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1403494808089655","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,11,12]],"date-time":"2008-11-12T12:43:06Z","timestamp":1226493786000},"page":"859-869","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Encouraging the installation of rollover protective structures in New York                 State: the design of a social marketing intervention"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Julie A.","family":"Sorensen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"New York Center for Agricultural Medicine and Health, Cooperstown, New                         York, USA,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John","family":"May","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"New York Center for Agricultural Medicine and Health, Cooperstown, New                         York, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ronne","family":"Ostby-Malling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Academy for Educational Development, Washington, DC, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tom","family":"Lehmen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Academy for Educational Development, Washington, DC, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Strand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Academy for Educational Development, Washington, DC, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hans","family":"Stenlund","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Epidemiology and Public Health Sciences, Department of Public Health and                         Clinical Medicine, Ume\u00e5 University, Ume\u00e5,                     Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lars W.","family":"Einehall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Epidemiology and Public Health Sciences, Department of Public Health and                         Clinical Medicine, Ume\u00e5 University, Ume\u00e5,                     Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Emmelin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Epidemiology and Public Health Sciences, Department of Public Health and                         Clinical Medicine, Ume\u00e5 University, Ume\u00e5,                     Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,11,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.13031\/2013.7226"},{"key":"atypb2","volume-title":"Tractor risk abatement and control: the policy conference final report","author":"Donham KD","year":"1997"},{"key":"atypb3","volume-title":"NSC.
