Goals/Purpose

The goal of NEARS is to continue to improve public health practice by providing a standardized, detailed reporting system for food
safety programs, to collect foodborne outbreak environmental assessment data, and to establish a sound epidemiological basis for
disease prevention activities.

Objective:

The foodborne outbreak environmental assessment data reported to NEARS will be used to characterize data on food vehicles and
monitor trends; identify contributing factors and their environmental antecedents; generate hypotheses, guide planning, and
implementation; evaluate food safety programs; and ultimately assist to prevent future outbreaks.

Activities or Tasks:

Target Populations to be Included/Represented:

Businesses

Tags/Keywords:

Foodborne Diseases ; Outbreak investigation ; Public Health Surveillance

CDC's Role:

Activity originated and designed by CDC staff, or conducted at the specific request of CDC, or CDC staff will approve study design
and data collection as a condition of any funding provided ; CDC employees will participate as co-authors in presentation(s) or
publication(s) ; CDC employees will provide substantial technical assistance or oversight ; CDC is providing funding

Method Categories:

Individual Interviews (Qualitative); Observation; Outbreak Investigation; Technical Assistance

Methods:

During foodborne illness outbreak investigations, environmental health specialists collect detailed environmental data by conducting
environmental assessments. These data identify how and why the food became contaminated with pathogens, and how and why
these pathogens were not eliminated before ingestion. When reported to CDC via NEARS, this information provides an opportunity
to systematically monitor and evaluate environmental factors, which can then be used to develop effective foodborne illness
outbreak response and preventative controls.

Collection of Info, Data or Biospecimen:

Data from foodborne outbreak environmental assessments are collected by environmental health professionals responding to
foodborne outbreaks at retail food establishments. Data are collected through direct observations at the establishment, and through
manager interviews or pen-and-paper at the establishment. Participating food safety programs then enter their data into a secured
web-based system designed to make data entry easy for respondents.

Expected Use of Findings/Results and their impact:

The information collected through NEARS is primarily used by the CDC to identify and understand environmental factors
(contributing factors and environmental antecedents) associated with foodborne illness outbreaks. Data collected through NEARS
will also be used to describe outbreaks and outbreak responses, describe environmental factors associated with outbreaks, and
describe the associations between environmental antecedents and specific contributing factors.
