Discussion: Foodborne Outbreak Among Inmates

A Foodborne Outbreak Among Inmates at a County Jail Paper instructions: Write an essay answering the 4 questions, using the background and two graphs, a & b. BACKGROUND: On August 8, employees at a Wisconsin county jail noted nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea among more than 100 inmates during the early morning inspection. As a result, the local health department was called to do an investigation about a suspected foodborne outbreak. A questionnaire filled out by inmates identified 200 cases of the gastrointestinal (GI) illness with the mean onset of illness approximately 8 hours after the August 7 evening meal (Figure a). Analysis of the food preparation process found that meals were made on-site in a central kitchen by inmates on a weekly rotating kitchen assignment. None of the food preparation supervisors reported being ill. Meals were pre-portioned and served to the inmates, to be consumed in their cells. Inmates were served a set menu and were not given a choice of food items. Figure a. (attached) Number of self-reported cases of illness among inmates housed at a county jail by hour of onset (N = 200) Graph of number of cases of illness among inmates housed at a county jail in august 7 and 8 shows that the number reaches the peak level at the end of august 7 and a waving increase and decrease is noted in august 8 and decreases completely by 10 hour. 1. Why was it important that none of the food preparation supervisors reported being ill? 2. Explain why epidemic curves like the figure shown are important in epidemiological analysis. What does the shape of this curve tell us about the epidemic? BACKGROUND for Question #3: For the August 8 evening meal, the casserole had been made by combining and reheating leftover food items from previous meals and food items that were near their expiration dates. Large batches of food were cooked and then cooled before final preparation for the next day’s meal. In some instances, the food was placed in a cooler and allowed to cool. However, the food remained for long periods at temperatures that promoted rapid growth of bacterial pathogens. A case-control study was used to determine the association of specific foods and beverages consumed by the inmates with the illness (Figure b). Figure b ( attached) Association between reported food exposures and cases of illness at a county jail 3. Use the table to calculate the odds ratio to determine which food was most strongly linked to the outbreak. 4. What recommendations would you make to prevent similar outbreaks in the future at this facility?

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
