Foodborne diseases in the U.S. affect six to 80 million people in the U.S., cause 9,000 deaths, and cost about five billion dollars annually, indicating a need for food safety education for the nation's 10 million food service workers. We will design a multimedia education program to meet the needs of food service workers, by: 1) structuring the program into easy-to-use modules that can be taken individually or sequentially; 2) allowing users to work at their own pace, based on time, literacy, and computer experience; 3) ensuring that the program focuses on task-specific skills and concepts; 4) ensuring constructive, response-specific feedback, and remedial branching, and; 5) by providing an evaluation for review by the worker's supervisor. Specific objectives of Phase I are to: 1) conduct a food service industry search for information on current food safety training; 2) develop and focus group test elements of a multimedia food safety education program; 3) produce a prototype, and; 4) administer the prototype to food service workers, then survey test for changes in knowledge and behavioral intentions. Results of Phase I will be reported, and used in designing Phase II and the product, that will include an Internet format and a Spanish version. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS: Food service customers include: unit level fast food outlets (e.g., Burger King), home meal replacement outlets (e.g., Boston Chicken), casual dining restaurants (e.g., Olive Garden), other restaurants, schools, institutional cafeterias, & other outside-the-home food preparation establishments. The food service industry has more than 10 million employees, or nearly 8% of U.S. workers, and total restaurant employment is expected to be 11 million by 2005. The typical consumer had more than four meals per week away from home in 1996. Restaurants receive 43 cents per dollar spent on food, and have annual sales of more than $300 billion. This product has been assured a place in the National Health Museum's store and catalogue, and the USDA/FDA/NAL food safety training database.

在美国，食源性疾病影响着600万到8000万人，导致9000人死亡，每年花费约50亿美元，这表明需要对美国1000万食品服务工作者进行食品安全教育。我们将设计一个多媒体教育程序，以满足餐饮服务工作者的需求，通过：1)将程序结构成易于使用的模块，可以单独或顺序采取；2)允许用户根据时间、文化水平和计算机经验，按照自己的节奏工作；3)确保课程侧重于特定任务的技能和概念；4)确保建设性的、具体响应的反馈和补救分支；5)提供一份评估，供工人的主管审查。第一阶段的具体目标是：1)对食品服务行业进行食品安全培训信息搜索；2)制定并重点关注多媒体食品安全教育项目的小组测试要素；3)制作原型；4)对餐饮服务人员进行原型管理，然后对其知识和行为意向的变化进行调查测试。将报告第一阶段的结果，并用于设计第二阶段和产品，其中将包括互联网格式和西班牙语版本。建议的商业应用：食品服务客户包括：单位级快餐店（例如，汉堡王），家庭膳食替代店（例如，波士顿鸡肉），休闲餐厅（例如，橄榄园），其他餐厅，学校，机构自助餐厅和其他家庭外食品准备机构。餐饮服务行业有超过1000万名员工，占美国员工总数的近8%，到2005年，餐饮业的总就业人数预计将达到1100万。1996年，典型的消费者每周外出就餐超过四次。餐馆在食物上每消费1美元，就能得到43美分，年销售额超过3000亿美元。该产品已确保在国家卫生博物馆的商店和目录，以及美国农业部/FDA/NAL食品安全培训数据库中占有一席之地。
