The heterogeneous association between education and the adoption of safe food handling practices in Ethiopia
Education is associated with increased adoption of safe food handling practices among individuals facing higher food safety risks. This has important implications for developing targeted policies focused on individuals most susceptible to foodborne diseases. Future policies aimed at increasing the adoption of safe food handling practices should also integrate individuals' decision-making processes and behavior biases in the context of varying risk levels.
