Table 1.

Regression analysis of the self-reported hygienic practices during food handling dependent on the sink placement either inside or outside the kitchen.

Model Sink placement β (SE) BCa (95% CI) OR (95% CI) p
How likely is it that you would clean your hands immediately after touching raw chicken?* 1 Inside 0a 1
Outside −0.64 (0.03) −0.32; −0.89 0.52 (0.44; 0.61) 0.00**
After cutting chicken, how likely is it that you will re-use the same cutting board for vegetables, salads or fruit?* 2 Inside 0a 1
Outside 0.37 (0.08) 0.19; 0.54 1.5 (1.23; 1.71) 0.00**
After cutting chicken, how likely is it that you will re-use the same knife (without washing it) for vegetables, salads or fruit?* 3 Inside 0a 1
Outside 0.56 (0.08) 0.25; 0.86 1.8 (1.48; 2.07) 0.00**

β = regression coefficient; SE = standard error; BCa (95% CI) = Bias-corrected accelerated (95% confidence interval) using the bootstrapping technique (1000 iterations); OR (95% C.I.) = odds ratio (95% confidence interval); a = reference value; *N = 7866 valid answers; **p < 0.01.
