目标：与食品生产、营销和消费相关的安全和质量，以及食品供应链中的整体信任水平，在我们的社会中越来越重要。本研究的目的是确定在一系列的安全和质量变量方面的消费者的信任水平在食品supplychain.Design的人口统计学差异：澳大利亚全国人口的电话调查随机抽样的澳大利亚人口年龄在18岁以上的年龄进行。对8个安全性和质量变量和1个复合变量进行单变量和多变量分析。设置：澳大利亚。受试者：总共1108次访谈，49.3%的样本男性，平均年龄为45.12岁（SD 17.63）。多变量分析表明，性别（女性），年龄（老年人）和家庭年收入（低收入）是更有可能被纳入考虑到各种质量和安全问题的最后模型的人口群体。较高的教育程度相关的更重要的是放在变量评估的重要性，生产者保持控制卫生，但较低的教育水平相关的变量评估的重要性，处所定期测试inspects.Conclusion：的看法，成年人放在食品的安全和质量是重要的，最终确定，除其他事项外，他们的食品购买选择。因此，这项研究突出了与广泛的安全和质量问题的重要性相关的人口统计学特征，以帮助提供针对性的适当活动的证据，以提高消费者的信心。(C)2011爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Objective: Safety and quality associated with the production, marketing and consumption of food, together with overall levels of trust in the food supply chain, are increasing in importance in our society. The aim of this study was to identify the demographic differences in a range of safety and quality variables in regard to levels of consumer trust in the food supply chain.Design: An Australia-wide population telephone survey on a random sample of the Australian population aged 18+ years of age was undertaken. Univariate and multivariate analyses were undertaken on each of the eight safety and quality variables and one composite variable.Setting: Australia.Subjects: In total, 1108 interviews with 49.3% of the sample males and with a mean age of 45.12 years (SD 17.63).Results: Multivariate analysis indicated that gender (females), age (older persons) and annual household income (lower income) were the demographic groups more likely to be included in the final models that considered various quality and safety issues to be important. Higher education was related to more importance being placed on the variable assessing the importance of the producer maintain control of hygiene but lower education level was related to the variable assessing the importance of the premises being tested regularly by inspectors.Conclusion: The perceptions that adults place upon the safety and quality of food are important in ultimately defining, amongst other things, their food buying choices. As such, this research has highlighted demographic characteristics associated with the importance placed on a wide range of safety and quality issues so as to assist in providing evidence for targeting of appropriate campaigns to increase consumer confidence.
