Frequently cited statistics indicate that the burden of foodborne disease is a serious public health problem, particularly for vulnerable populations such as children. The purpose of the descriptive retrospective study discussed in this article was to analyze data collected within the Electronic Foodborne Outbreak Reporting System (eFORS) in school settings in order to examine the magnitude of foodborne disease etiologies and to recommend strategies for prevention. Data on foodborne outbreaks (N = 96) and illnesses (N = 6,567) were extracted and analyzed from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) eFORS spanning the years 2000 to 2004.
经常被引用的统计数据表明,食源性疾病负担是一个严重的公共卫生问题,对儿童等弱势群体尤为如此。本文所讨论的描述性回顾性研究的目的是分析在学校环境中的电子食源性疾病暴发报告系统(eFORS)中收集的数据,以调查食源性疾病病因的严重程度,并推荐预防策略。从疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)的eFORS中提取并分析了2000年至2004年期间食源性疾病暴发(N = 96)和疾病(N = 6567)的数据。
