Abstract
Abstract
Food safety is a global health goal and food borne diseases are a major health issue. It is important to reach young adults with food safety education because of their current and future roles as caregivers. The aim of this study was to establish baseline assessment data regarding to food safety knowledge and practices among adolescent students and develop an educational program on the base of previous baseline data to increase their knowledge and improve their practices related to food safety. A quasi-experimental study design was used in carrying out at 4 secondary schools (two schools were east and the others were west) in Assuit. The sample included 1000 students (as baseline assessment data) and 200 students randomly selected for the educational program. The main result in this study was no statistically significant differences between the pre test and post test practices and knowledge in the control group but there was statistically significant difference between the pre-post test practices and knowledge in the study group. The study was concluded that, the students' knowledge and practices about food safety were increased significantly among students who had the food safety educational program. It is recommended that the developed programs should be taught among different age group students that do not offer food safety program.
