    Area of Science:

    • Medical Behavioral Science
    • Public Health Research

    Background:

    • International health programs have driven the growth of medical behavioral science.
    • Behavioral science has extensively studied nutrition and diarrheal disease treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify the need for and opportunities in behavioral science research focused on food safety.
    • To address the gap in research concerning the causes of food contamination and methods to improve food safety.

    Main Methods:

    • The study reviews the impact of international health programs on behavioral science.
    • It analyzes findings from a Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Safety meeting.
    • It synthesizes existing research and identifies areas for future investigation.

    Main Results:

    • Significant behavioral research exists in nutrition and diarrheal diseases, but not in food safety.
    • There is a clear need and opportunity for behavioral science research in food safety.
    • The WHO Food Safety Programme is expected to stimulate this research area.

    Conclusions:

    • Behavioral science can significantly contribute to enhancing food safety.
    • Future research should focus on understanding how food becomes unsafe and how to increase food safety.
    • Health education is a key strategy for implementing food safety research findings.
