摘要

Educational interventions can improve food safety knowledge and behaviors when closely aligned with specific needs of target groups. Identifying the needs of adolescents is important because they are under-studied and adolescence is an ideal time to establish life-long behaviors. The purpose of this study was to estimate food-safety knowledge and behaviors of 7th grade students in East Tennessee and determine relationships between knowledge, behaviors, and specific demographic characteristics. A survey assessing food safety knowledge and behaviors was administered to 232 students in 12 schools through a weighted, stratified, random sample. A hierarchical model was used to obtain least squares means. Results indicated significant disconnects betweenknowledge and reported food-handling behaviors. No statistical difference was found in food safety knowledge for any of the demographics except race, in that Asian/Pacific students scored lower (P = 0.0005). Males (P = 0.0134) and Asian/ Pacific students(P = 0.0034) reported riskier food-handling behaviors. Handwashing and use of proper time-temperature conditions, as well as differences in behavior within gender and some ethnic groups, should be focal points in adolescent food safety education.With limited food handling experience and relatively little impact of demographic factors, dissemination of knowledge and development of safe behaviors through adolescent education may prove successful in improving consumer food safety.
