^aWhile the vast majority of non-agricultural publications were targeted at the general public, five media reports were published in targeted non-agricultural media publications, including POLITICO (n = 2), NIOSH e-News (n = 1), Occupational Safety and Health (n = 1), and the Association of Equipment Manufacturers Newsletter (n = 1). These five media reports all discussed the National ROPS Rebate Program
^bThe National ROPS Rebate Program was first labeled in 2014. Media reports published prior to this, but discussing all Programs available at the time, were considered to be representative of the National ROPS Rebate Program
