Project Summary/Abstract: Rhode Island EHS-Net Practice Based Research to Improve Food Safety The overarching goal of the research being proposed by the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH), Center for Food Protection (CFP) is to improve the practice of environmental health services by maintaining participation in the Environmental Health Specialist Network (EHS-Net) and conducting practice-based research to identify and prevent environmental risk factors contributing to foodborne illness. The specific aims include: (1) Conducting foodborne outbreak environmental assessments and reporting findings to the National Environmental Assessment; (2) Identifying and improving our understanding of environmental factors associated with retail food safety and identify interventions that can be implemented on a national basis; (3) Reducing Illness through Investigations and Evaluating Food Safety Service Programs; and (4) Developing and disseminating findings from EHS-Net projects. AIM 1 will directly contribute to the identification of risk factors that are associated with foodborne illness outbreaks. Rhode Island will conduct environmental assessments during 100% of foodborne illness investigations and report these findings to NEARS. AIM 2 addresses the participation in CDC multisite studies which will contribute to the not only the identification of risk factors associated with foodborne illness but also the interventions to address those risk factors. With eight ESH-Net sites across the country, the representation of these studies will make the findings more generalizable to the Unites States and will have a significant impact on reducing foodborne illness in the nation. AIM 3 details the Rhode Island specific projects that will help to close the gap on topics related to Norovirus interventions and prevention, the impact of having a certified manager at all times and improving environmental assessments during foodborne illness outbreak investigations. Lastly, AIM 4 emphasis the importance of disseminating the findings from AIM’s 1, 2, and 3 to have the largest impact on improving environmental health practices and reducing illnesses associated with foodborne pathogens. The projects proposed in this application use innovative methods utilizing practice-based research to evaluate the effectiveness of novel policies and regulations such as the Rhode Island Sick Time Law and the regulation that requires a Certified Food Safety Manager at all times. In addition, best practices associated with environmental assessments, such as environmental sampling, will be evaluated and incorporated into a training manual that can be adopted by other State and Local health departments. These projects aim to improve environmental health practices and reduce illness at a national level.

项目概要/摘要：基于罗得岛EHS网络实践的研究，以改善食品质量 安全 罗得岛部提出的研究的首要目标是 健康（RIDOH），食品保护中心（CFP）是为了改善环境的做法， 通过继续参与环境卫生专家网络， （EHS网络）和开展基于实践的研究，以识别和预防环境风险 导致食源性疾病的因素。具体目标包括：（1）开展食源性 爆发环境评估并向国家环境保护局报告结果 评估;（2）识别和提高我们对环境因素的理解 与零售食品安全相关，并确定可以在 （3）通过调查和评估食品安全服务减少疾病 （4）开发和传播EHS网络项目的研究成果。 AIM 1将直接有助于识别与下列因素相关的风险因素： 食源性疾病暴发。罗得岛将在 100%的食源性疾病调查，并将这些调查结果报告给NEARS。AIM 2地址 参与CDC多中心研究，这不仅有助于识别 与食源性疾病相关的风险因素，以及解决这些风险的干预措施 因素全国有8个ESH-Net站点，这些研究的代表性将 使研究结果更普遍适用于美国，并将产生重大影响 减少全国的食源性疾病。AIM 3详细介绍了罗得岛的具体项目， 将有助于缩小与诺如病毒干预和预防相关主题的差距， 在任何时候都有一个认证的管理人员，并改善环境评估， 食源性疾病爆发调查。最后，AIM 4强调了以下重要性： 传播AIM 1、2和3的研究结果，以最大限度地改善 环境卫生实践和减少与食源性病原体有关的疾病。 本申请中提出的项目使用创新方法， 研究以评估新的政策和法规的有效性，如罗德 岛屿病假法和要求认证食品安全经理的法规 次此外，与环境评估有关的最佳做法，如 环境采样，将进行评估，并纳入培训手册，可以 其他州和地方卫生部门采用。这些项目旨在改善 环境卫生实践和减少国家一级的疾病。
