regardless of size or location of the group studied. Another
limitation is the repetitive nature of the elicitation study;
reusing questions for each food safety behavior could have
distracted participants. Additional limitations of focus groups
are cross-talking and participants not staying on topic, so that
moderators were required to actively manage the focus group
to keep participants on topic. This was achieved by clearly
defining the practice, providing participants with a copy of
the questions, and intervening when conversations were off
topic. Last, confidentiality could not be assured during focus
group proceedings, possibly preventing some participants
from sharing their views because of risk of negative reaction
or provoking some participants to share inflated views to
elicit positive reaction from other participants. To overcome
social desirability and create an inviting environment in which
participants could share freely, focus groups were conducted
with existing groups with prior established relationships, and
participants selected pseudonyms to protect their identity
during the focus group meetings.
This study is believed to be the first study using theorybased investigation to examine salient beliefs of child

nutrition professionals that affect the specific food safety
practices of proper handwashing, handling of food and work
surfaces, and correct use of a thermometer to check the
temperature of food. The results of the study advance the
body of knowledge related to proper food safety practices
in the school nutrition sector and use of the TPB. From
the results of this elicitation study, behavioral, normative,
and control beliefs were identified among child nutrition
professionals and will be integral in the development of
a questionnaire to explore the TPB model, which will be
used in a future study to determine specific interventions to
motivate safe handling of food in school foodservice settings.
