In order to understand where the respondents ate, they were asked to rank where their
food is usually prepared, using rank scores
from 1 (most often) to 5 (least often). Students
ranked “on-campus cafeteria or snack bar/fast
food place” as the place where their food is
most often prepared. In decreasing order, students stated their food was also prepared at
off-campus restaurants, dormitory kitchen or
room microwave, deli shops or deli sections
of grocery stores, and lastly, fraternity/sorority house or off-campus home. It should be
noted, however, that this particular university
requires all freshman to live in campus dormitories their first year. On average less than
25% elect to stay in dormitories past their first
year with most moving into local apartments.
Accordingly, within six months of the survey,
most of the study population will have moved
into local apartments and be solely responsible
for their meal preparation.
To obtain baseline knowledge of how these
young adults feel about their risk for foodborne disease, they were asked to rate their
level of risk. The vast majority of students
(72%) feel that they are “very unlikely” (27%)
or “unlikely” (45%) to be at risk of foodborne
disease. Only a small proportion of the respondents (9%) felt that they were “likely” or “very
likely” at risk for foodborne illness.
To gain insight into the food safety topics that students’ considered most important
for education, they were asked to select two
topics from five possible categories. Overall,
most students felt that the two most important food safety topics to educate young
adults about were “cross contamination and
disinfection procedures” and “safe times/
temperatures for cooking/storing food.” The
two food safety topics that the students felt
least important to be educated about were
“foods that increase risk of foodborne dis-ease” and “groups at greatest risk for foodborne disease.”
The food safety knowledge portion of the
survey contained 21 questions with 24 possible correct responses (Table 2). The scores
ranged from 0–19 total points (0%–79%). A
data screening was conducted to determine
the distribution and skewness of the total
scores of the respondents, which followed
a close-to-normal distribution. The mean
food safety knowledge scores of the participants was 10.23 (43%) +/-4.13 (25%–60%)
(Table 3).
