Proposed Project Food safety knowledge, attitude, and practices survey of correctional workers—New—National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description In 2017, an analysis of Foodborne Disease Outbreak Surveillance System (FDOSS) epidemiology data demonstrated a disproportionately high burden of foodborne outbreaks and outbreak-associated illnesses in correctional settings compared to other settings (Marlow et al., Am J Public Health 2017). The CDC is developing training programs to reduce foodborne illness in correctional facilities. However, CDC has little understanding of current training and overall food safety culture among individuals working in correctional settings. This survey will allow for the collection of baseline knowledge, attitudes, and practices
(KAP)of correctional staff working in a variety of U.S. correctional facilities (including federal, state, tribal, local and private facilities). The survey will assess overall food infrastructure, food safety training, and the receptiveness of correctional staff to being a part of food safety at their facilities. The plan will be to repeat the survey two years later to support interim evaluation of CDC programs. CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 2,500 annual burden hours to conduct a KAP survey of correctional workers. There is no cost to respondents other than their time to participate.
