SNHD Food Safety Culture

项目摘要/摘要 食品安全此前已被食品安全中心宣布为一场可以取胜的战斗 疾病预防控制与2020年健康人群优先领域 主动权。最近的研究提出，负面的食品安全文化可以被认为是一种 由于食源性疾病对暴发的重大影响而出现的新的危险因素 (Griffith，Livesey，&Clayton，2010a)。调查食品安全文化以及如何 在零售食品机构层面上改善这一点可能是减少 食源性疾病。 南内华达州卫生区(SNHD)计划进行一项混合方法 开展序贯研究，更好地理解和完善食品安全文化。具体目标 将利用焦点小组和调查直接从零售食品中获取数据 经营者和管理层，2)使用研究结果为零售食品创造资源 改善其食品安全文化，这可能会提高对 食品安全做法，从而潜在地减少食源性疾病的传播 在零售食品机构层面，以及3)传播调查结果以提高认识 积极的食品安全文化和分享改进策略。 首先，SNHD将与食品处理员开展多个初步焦点小组 以及与餐厅管理部门分开的焦点小组。这些项目的目标将是 确定积极的食品安全文化的例子，阻碍积极食品安全的障碍 文化，以及改善食品安全文化的方法建议。SNHD将进行一次 对焦点小组数据进行专题分析，以确定共同主题。然后，SNHD将 使用此数据创建量化调查，该调查将更广泛地分布到 南内华达州的食品经营者和管理层进一步了解食品 安全文化。最后，SNHD将使用累积的调查结果来创建资源 会为零售食肆提供可行的建议，以改善食物安全 文化，这可能会改善食品安全和减少疾病。的风格和类型 资源将取决于调查结果，但SNHD准备创建信息图表，a 举办了一系列讲习班和一次网络研讨会。此外，SNHD将致力于传播 向食品安全和环境卫生社区推广该项目的研究结果 通过会议、演讲、SNHD网站和/或其他可用的途径。

Project Summary/Abstract Food safety has previously been declared a Winnable Battle by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and a priority area for the Healthy People 2020 Initiative. Recent research proposes that negative food safety culture be considered an emerging risk factor for foodborne illness due to its significant impact in outbreaks (Griffith, Livesey, & Clayton, 2010a). Investigating food safety culture and how to improve it at the retail food establishment level may be one important route to reducing foodborne illness. The Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD) plans to conduct a mixed methods sequential study to better understand and improve food safety culture. The specific aims will be to 1) utilize focus groups and surveys to solicit data directly from retail food handlers and management, 2) use study findings to create resources for retail food establishments to improve their food safety culture, which may improve adherence to food safety practices, thereby potentially reducing the transmission of foodborne illness at the retail food establishment level, and 3) disseminate findings to promote awareness of positive food safety culture and share improvement strategies. First, SNHD will conduct multiple preliminary focus groups with food handlers and separate focus groups with restaurant management. The goal of these will be identify examples of positive food safety culture, obstacles impeding positive food safety culture, and suggestions for ways to improve food safety culture. SNHD will conduct a thematic analysis on the focus group data to identify common themes. Then, SNHD will use this data to create a quantitative survey which will be distributed more broadly to food handlers and management within Southern Nevada to further understand food safety culture. Finally, SNHD will use the cumulative findings to create resources that will provide actionable suggestions for retail food establishments to improve food safety culture, which may improve food safety and reduce illness. The style and type of resource will depend on the findings, but SNHD is prepared to create infographics, a series of workshops, and a webinar. Additionally, SNHD will work to disseminate findings to promote the project to the food safety and environmental health communities via conferences, presentations, the SNHD website, and/or other available avenues.
