Socio-demographic determinants of good food safety practices for young educated food handlers in Turkey
Description
Dear Editors, Reviewers and Readers, In the attached SPSS data file; The frequency test was used to find correct (3), incorrect (1), and not sure (2) percentages of the statements and demonstrated in Table 2. "Practice_score_good" dataset was formed using Count Values within Cases in Data menu of SPSS by counting all score “3”. “Practice_score_good_rate” was obtained by dividing "Practice_score_good" by 19 (statement number). Then, “Practice_score_good_poor” was created using “Practice_score_good_rate”. Accordingly, if the rate in “Practice_score_good_rate” was 60% and more, “1” was assigned to “Practice_score_good_poor” column, otherwise “0” was written. Cross tabulation was performed to count Score “1” (it means good food safety practice level) of “Practice_score_good_poor” in the socio-demographic groups. The score “1” percentages were presented in Table 3. "Practice_score_good_poor" dataset was used for analysis of variance (t test and ANOVA) for comparison according to socio-demographic groups (statistical lettering in the first column of Table 3). Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to find the relationship between "Practice_good_poor_coded" and the socio-demographic groups such as "gender", "age", "monthly income", “marital status”, "grade level", and "internship status" (categorical variables) datasets with selected "first" as a reference category. The results were summarized in Table 3. Using "Practice_score_good"; mean, standard deviations were calculated and presented as “Mean score ± SD” (not presented in Tables, only placed in-text). Kind Regards.
