Data was collected from food vendors in a poor resource community in Ghana, which showed that the vendors constituted an important source of oro-faecal transmission. Following this, the WHO five keys of safer food were utilized in an evidence based training programme for the vendors to improve their food handling practices. Impact assessment of the food safety training showed that 67.6% of the vendors had acquired some knowledge from the workshop and were putting it into practice. Lack of food safety equipment was a major hinderance to behavioral change among the vendors as far food handling practices are concerned.
数据收集自加纳资源匮乏社区的食品摊贩,这些摊贩构成了经口-粪传播的重要源头。此后,世卫组织利用更安全食品的五个关键要素,为这些摊贩开展了基于证据的培训计划,以改善他们的食品处理操作。食品安全培训的效果评估显示,67.6%的摊贩从工作坊中获得了一些知识,并付诸实践。就食品处理操作而言,缺乏食品安全设备是摊贩改变行为的主要障碍。
