What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?This project resulted in the education of a MS student in Nutrition Sciences who completed their Thesis on this topic. Additionally, this project resultedin the professional development of a Post doctoral researcher on the project. Both of these individuals are also Registered Dietitians, resulting in more RD professionals with in depth knowledge of consumer food safety challenges. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?The final education campaign was officially made available on the websited of the Partnership for Food Safety Education (fightbac.org) in September of 2022 to correspond with Food Safety Education month with an introductory webinar for end users available in August 2022. Press releases were made by the Partnership for Food Safety Education, New Mexico State University and Drexel University. Over the final year of the project the availability of these resources was promoted using: Social media (Facebook, twitter, instagram and youtube) Promotion at three different professional meetings - theInternational Association for Food Protection (IAFP), Food and Nutrition Education Conference (FNCE) and National Extension Association of Family and Consumer Sciences (NEAFCS). The results/product of this project continue to be housed at the website:https://www.fightbac.org/dwyc/ What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?

What was accomplished under these goals?
Objective 1 - An online survey was developed and administered to over 2,000 individuals nationwide. This survey informed both development of structured interiviews as well as target audience for the final education campaign developed. The work was presented at anAnnual meeting of the International Association for Food Protection and resulted in a manuscript which was peer-reviewed and published in the Journal of Food Protection. Objective 2 - Online structured inverviews were conducted with the appropriate consumers to be targeted. These interviews informed messages to be developed for the final education campaign. The work was presented at anAnnual meeting of the International Association for Food Protection and resulted in amanuscript which was peer-reviewed and published in the British Food Journal. Objectives 3 and 4 - The iterative process was used to identify three key messages around not washing raw poultry as well as an interactive final series of education messages that made up the final campaign. Stakeholders involvedin the iterative process included personnel from U.S. Department of Agriculture as well as the Centers for Disease Control. Additionally, academics with expertise in food safety and food microbiology were included. Finally, end users of the campaign to be developed (food and nutrition educators) were involved in the iterative process in order to ensure usability and acceptance of the final product by the endusers. Objective 5 - The final education campaign was officially made available on the websited of the Partnership for Food Safety Education (fightbac.org) in September of 2022 to correspond with Food Safety Education month with an introductory webinar for end users available in August 2022. Press releases were made by the Partnership for Food Safety Education, New Mexico State University and Drexel University. Over the final year of the project the availability of these resources was promoted using both social media (Facebook, twitter, instagram and youtube) as well as through promotion at three different professional meetings - the International Association for Food Protection (IAFP), Food and Nutrition Education Conference (FNCE) and National Extension Association of Family and Consumer Sciences (NEAFCS).

What was accomplished under these goals?
Objectives 3 and 4 were completed with the Identification of a novel message and development of food safety education materials informed by work completed in the first two Objectives. The iterative process was used with stakeholders including bacfighters as well as government officials (CDC and USDA) in order to ensure that the materials developed were consistent with messages from government agencies. Input from bacfighters ensured that messages and materials were clear, understandable and useful to those that would be using these materials directly with consumers. Plans to acheive Objective 5 late in 2022 and early 2023 were begun.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
Objectives 1 was completed with the administration of a nationwide survey to almost 2000 individuals to better understand the number of consumers who continue to wash raw poultry as well as what percent of participants are not aware of the recommendation not to wash raw poultry. The data collected in this objective was used to inform both Objectives 2 and 3. Objective 2 was completed, that is, 23 in-depth interviews were conducted with consumers who reported that they continue to wash raw poultry, despite knowing that the correct behavior is not to wash raw poultry. The interview transcripts were analyzed to identify barriers to not adopting the correct behavior, as well as identifying information and messages that might make some consumers more willing to adopt the correct behavior. Objectives 3 and 4 were begun, with meetings that included both the Advisory committee and other stakeholders, as well as the PI and all Co-PI's to begin to develop the message and education campaign to be developed.

Changes/Problems:The work is proceeding as planned, however the shutdown due to COVID 19 in March 2020 did result in a slight delay in progress as personnel adjusted to an all virtual workspace. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?The project has supported the work of a MS student in Nutrition Sciences who is completing his thesis work on this project - specifically the development, administration, and analysis of the survey to be administered. The project has also supported the work of a post-doctoral researcher who has developed the questioning route for the in-depth interviews and who will conduct and analyze the in-depth interviews. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?The work is still in the stage of collection of data through formative research and is not yet at the stage of dissemination of results. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?During the next reporting period Objectives one and two will be completed with the administration of the survey nationally. Additionally, the in-depth interviews will be conducted and data analyzed. Work on Objectives 3 and 4 will begin and the identification of the message and how to disseminate it will begin, informed by the formative data obtained from Objectives 1 and 2.
Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
Progress on Objectives 1 has begun with development of a survey to be administered nationwide to approximately 2000 individuals in order to determine the extent to which consumers have heard the message not to wash raw poultry as well as what percent of respondents still report that they continue the practice of washing raw poultry. Email addresses of those who report knowing the message to not wash raw poultry, but continue the practice anyway, will be collected to potentially participate in Objective 2 of the research. The survey is scheduled to be administered in September of 2020. Progress on Objective 2 has begun with development of a questioning route for the planned in-depth interviews with consumers who continue to wash raw poultry despite knowing the correct behavior.
