Abstract: Objective To provide scientific basis for food-borne disease prevention and intervention by evaluating the intervention effect on food-borne food among community residents in Pudong New Area. Methods Thirty communities were randomly selected, and two geographically adjacent communities were taken as an intervention group and a control group, respectively.Three years' intervention was undertaken for the intervention group.From Dec.2008 to June 2009, a questionnaire (basic knowledge, dietary habit, etc) was filled in the intervention group and the control group for evaluation of the intervention results. Results Knowledge and dietary habit were significantly improved in the intervention group, and in the same group food-borne diarrhea incidence was sharply reduced (P<0.05). Conclusion Effective community intervention measures could significantly improve communities' knowledge and dietary habit, and prevent food-borne diseases.
