Project Summary/Abstract: Rhode Island EHS-Net Practice Based Research to Improve Food Safety The overarching goal of the research being proposed by the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH), Center for Food Protection (CFP) is to improve the practice of environmental health services by maintaining participation in the Environmental Health Specialist Network (EHS-Net) and conducting practice-based research to identify and prevent environmental risk factors contributing to foodborne illness. The specific aims include: (1) Conducting foodborne outbreak environmental assessments and reporting findings to the National Environmental Assessment; (2) Identifying and improving our understanding of environmental factors associated with retail food safety and identify interventions that can be implemented on a national basis; (3) Reducing Illness through Investigations and Evaluating Food Safety Service Programs; and (4) Developing and disseminating findings from EHS-Net projects. AIM 1 will directly contribute to the identification of risk factors that are associated with foodborne illness outbreaks. Rhode Island will conduct environmental assessments during 100% of foodborne illness investigations and report these findings to NEARS. AIM 2 addresses the participation in CDC multisite studies which will contribute to the not only the identification of risk factors associated with foodborne illness but also the interventions to address those risk factors. With eight ESH-Net sites across the country, the representation of these studies will make the findings more generalizable to the Unites States and will have a significant impact on reducing foodborne illness in the nation. AIM 3 details the Rhode Island specific projects that will help to close the gap on topics related to Norovirus interventions and prevention, the impact of having a certified manager at all times and improving environmental assessments during foodborne illness outbreak investigations. Lastly, AIM 4 emphasis the importance of disseminating the findings from AIM’s 1, 2, and 3 to have the largest impact on improving environmental health practices and reducing illnesses associated with foodborne pathogens. The projects proposed in this application use innovative methods utilizing practice-based research to evaluate the effectiveness of novel policies and regulations such as the Rhode Island Sick Time Law and the regulation that requires a Certified Food Safety Manager at all times. In addition, best practices associated with environmental assessments, such as environmental sampling, will be evaluated and incorporated into a training manual that can be adopted by other State and Local health departments. These projects aim to improve environmental health practices and reduce illness at a national level.

项目摘要/摘要：罗德岛 EHS-Net 基于实践的改善食品研究 安全 罗德岛州部门提出的研究的总体目标 卫生署 (RIDOH)、食品保护中心 (CFP) 旨在改善环境实践 卫生服务部门继续参与环境卫生专家网络 （EHS-Net）并进行基于实践的研究，以识别和预防环境风险 导致食源性疾病的因素包括： (1) 开展食源性疾病。 疫情环境评估并向国家环境局报告结果 评估；（2）识别并提高我们对环境因素的理解 与零售食品安全相关，并确定可实施的干预措施 国家基础；(3) 通过调查和评估食品安全服务减少疾病 计划；以及 (4) 制定和传播 EHS-Net 项目的研究成果。 AIM 1 将直接有助于识别与以下相关的风险因素： 罗德岛州将在食源性疾病爆发期间进行环境评估。 100% 的食源性疾病调查并将这些调查结果报告给 NEARS 2 地址。 参与 CDC 多中心研究，这不仅有助于确定 与食源性疾病相关的风险因素以及解决这些风险的干预措施 这些研究的代表性将通过遍布全国的八个 ESH-Net 站点来实现。 使研究结果更适用于美国，并将产生重大影响 AIM 3 详细介绍了罗德岛州减少食源性疾病的具体项目。 将有助于缩小诺如病毒干预和预防、影响等相关主题的差距 始终拥有经过认证的经理并在期间改进环境评估 最后，AIM 4 强调了食源性疾病爆发的重要性。 传播 AIM 1、2 和 3 的研究结果，以对改进产生最大影响 环境卫生实践并减少与食源性病原体相关的疾病。 本申请中提出的项目使用基于实践的创新方法 研究评估新政策和法规（例如罗德法案）的有效性 岛屿病假法和要求经过认证的食品安全经理的法规 此外，最佳实践与环境评估相关，例如 环境采样将被评估并纳入培训手册中 其他州和地方卫生部门采用这些项目旨在改善。 环境健康实践并在国家层面减少疾病。
