Study Summary
Rutgers University will partner with the Meals on Wheels America (MOWA) and affiliated agencies in five states to conduct a study designed to improve food safety nutrition and emergency preparedness among homebound elderly recipients of home delivered meals (HDM). This population is at increased risk for food borne diseases, as a result of unique physiological and behavioral factors, and is particularly vulnerable to any disruptions in the food system because of their lack of mobility. A multi-method research approach will be used with a target sample of 1,000 MOWA homebound elderly clients. Methods include the use of a novel UPC scanning technology that quickly and comprehensively catalogues all of the food in the clients' homes, a home food safety audit, and a face-to-face interview. The goal of the study is to provide an improved understanding of the unique food safety threats to this at-risk population, suggest easy, cost-effective ways of reducing known food safety risk factors, and provide clear guidelines about the amount and types of food most needed by this population in emergency situations. Dissemination of research findings and recommendations will be done through a partnership with EDEN and MOWA, both of which have national constituencies poised to act on the recommendations.
Primary Outcome
A 7-scale home food safety kitchen audit score was calculated by summing the affirmative responses to the audit questions was calculated for each household. Items on each scale ranged from 3-12 for total score of 0 to 43 and all were weighted equally.
