The effect of food safety education on the knowledge attitude and behavior of foodservice workers of inner city public schools
Open accessAbstract
The purpose of this study was to determine if food safety education influences food safety knowledge, attitude and behavior among inner city public school foodservice employees. Knowledge, attitude and behavior of an experimental group (n=22) was assessed before and after 3-hour food safety training and compared with a control group (n=10) that received no food safety training. We hypothesized that those who received food safety training would have improved knowledge, attitude and behavior towards food safety issues compared to those who did not receive training. Results showed that food safety training significantly increased (p<0.001) the knowledge of foodservice employees compared to those who didn’t receive the training. However, the 3-hour training did not significantly influence attitude or practice of safe food-handling techniques. Education and consistent re-training, coupled with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system, food-handier sanitation certification and frequent supervision may help to increase food safety awareness among foodservice employees.

Four studies showed an increase in knowledge without an improvement in attitude.
“This was the case for four studies [80,85,86,100].”

Training interventions have a significant effect on increased knowledge toward food safety and hygiene across different settings such as fresh produce, food service operators, schools, restaurants, households, and multi-settings.
“We found evidence that training interventions have a significant effect on increased knowledge toward food safety and hygiene across different type of settings such as fresh produce [91], food service operators [108], schools [80], restaurants [82], households [101], and multi-settings [97].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
