Why are the injury data from 1996 and 2001 not directly comparable?

The data are not directly comparable because the injury question was worded differently on the 2001 questionnaire. The question now asks about farm-related injuries that required medical attention or resulted in lost work time. Previously, farm operators were not asked specifically about injuries that resulted in lost work time.
