General Overview
In 1996, FoodNet conducted a survey of 5,074 randomly
selected physicians in the five FoodNet sites. Physicians
were selected from state physician license lists for
nonsurgical specialties. The questionnaire collected
information on hours per week involved in direct patient
care, specialty, training, inpatient/outpatient information
and estimates of patients seen who were HIV infected.
The physician survey specifically asked questions
about the last patient seen with diarrhea.
In 2000, FoodNet sites administered a knowledge,
attitudes, and practices (KAP) survey to physicians.
The primary purpose of the survey was to determine
the current role of physicians as food-safety educators
for their patients. Adults considered "at-risk"
for severe forms of foodborne diseases included pregnant
women, persons undergoing chemotherapy, and persons
with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)/ human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Because these
populations are often targeted by food-safety educational
materials, the survey focused on physicians working
in obstetric, oncology and infectious disease clinics.
