Abstract: This proposed data collection is intended to provide initial answers to research questions such as whether and how much Spanish-dominant Hispanics, English-dominant Hispanics, and English-speaking non-Hispanics differ in their knowledge, attitude, and behavior toward food safety and food handling and the role that demographic and other factors may play in any differences. We plan to use the results of the study to develop follow-up quantitative and qualitative research to gauge the prevalence and extent of differences in food safety knowledge and behaviors between the three mentioned population groups. We plan to use the results of the follow-up research to help inform the design of effective education and outreach initiatives aimed at helping reduce the risk of foodborne illness for the general U.S. population as well as Hispanics. We will not use the results of the study to develop population estimates. The proposed data collection will use a Web-based instrument to collect information from 3,000 adult members in online consumer panels maintained by a contractor.
