Evaluation of knowledge, attitude, and practice of women about foodborne diseases: a cross-sectional study in Khuzestan, Iran

Food-borne diseases are important globally because they cause significant death and treatment costs in the world. In this study, the researchers used a validated and trusted questionnaire to carry out this cross-sectional study of 384 women from Ahvaz, Khuzestan, Iran, recruited through stratified random selection. The main objective of the study was to examine the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of women (KAP) in Ahvaz, which played the main role in the preparation of food at home. Women exhibited a high level of KAP when it came to the most significant variables linked with food poisoning. The attitudes and practices of women, as well as their knowledge, were linked. Our findings revealed that the women in Ahvaz had a high degree of knowledge about how to protect themselves from food-borne illnesses; Some practices, however, posed a risk to food safety. More knowledge and training about the risks of consuming raw or semi-processed foods are required.
