Hello this is __________ with the _________ Health Department. We are working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on a research project designed to help us better understand managers’ and workers’ food safety knowledge and attitudes and restaurant policies and practices. Your restaurant was picked at random to be in this project. The study involves an interview with a manager and up to 10 food workers, and an observation of the kitchen. We understand your kitchen might not have 10 food workers working at the same time, but would like to speak to as many food workers as possible. Your participation is voluntary, but we would really appreciate your participation, as it will help us understand the difficult issues restaurants face. If you don’t want to be part of the study or if you change your mind later, nothing will happen to you. Whether you are part of the study or not will not affect your restaurant’s score on any health inspection. Also, if you decide to participate, your name and your restaurant’s name will not be recorded on the data collection form, nor will they be included in any reports.

Having said that, I need to let you know that at any time during the survey if I see something that is an imminent health hazard, such as no power, no water or sewage on the floor, I will need to stop the study and report the problem to your local health department.

Could we schedule a time to come out when we could talk to a kitchen manager, food workers, and observe your kitchen for awhile?

􀂅 No → Thank you for your time.

􀂅 Yes ↓

Great! I’ll visit your restaurant for about two to two and a half hours. Keeping in mind that a manager responsible for managing the kitchen and workers who handle food and who speak English needs to be available for the interview, when would be a convenient time to schedule the visit?
