Ms. Parham was instrumental in generating ideas used for this research study.Without her willingness and her commitment to contribute, this study would have never been completed.I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. Zisca Dixon, my major professor, for her patience, dedication and personal interest in showing me how to be the best I can be.Dr. Dixon has contributed to both my intellectual and academic well being by allowing me to explore all o f my potential. I truly enjoyed and will always be graciously appreciative of the experiences and opportunities that she has given me. The purpose of this study was to determine if food safety education influences food safety knowledge, attitude and behavior among inner city public school foodservice employees. Knowledge, attitude and behavior of an experimental group (n=22) was assessed before and after 3-hour food safety training and compared with a control group (n=10) that received no food safety training. We hypothesized that those who received food safety training would have improved knowledge, attitude and behavior towards food safety issues compared to those who did not receive training.Results showed that food safety training significantly increased ( p<0.001) the knowledge of foodservice employees compared to those who didn't receive the training.
