Descriptive statistics for food safety behavior questions.

aQuestions 1–5 are scored on a 5-point likert scale with possible responses (and associated value) of Never (−2), Sometimes (−1), N/A (0), Usually (1), and Always (2). Question 6 had possible responses of: On the counter (−2), In the Sink (−2), In water (−1), N/A (0), In the microwave (1), and In the refrigerator (2). Lower scores indicate riskier food safety behaviors.bFood safety behavior score was created by summing questions 1–6. Total range of possible food safety behavior scores: −12 to +12. Question 7 was excluded in calculation of the food safety behavior score because it does not refer to a behavior.cBased of a scale of −1 to +1, with a responses of not at all concerned (−1), somewhat concerned (0), very concerned (1).
