1. INTRODUCTION
Foodbook is a population-based telephone survey that was conducted in all Canadian provinces and territories. It provides essential data on food, animal and water exposure which will be used by the Agency, as well as other federal, provincial, and territorial (F/P/T) partners to understand, respond to, control and prevent enteric illness in Canada.
The Foodbook study was developed jointly by the Enteric Surveillance and Population Studies Division (ESPS) and the Outbreak Management Division (OMD) in the Centre for Food-borne, Environmental and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (CFEZID) of the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), in consultation with F/P/T partners. Its primary purpose was to establish a database describing Canadians' exposure to foods over a seven-day period that may serve as sources for foodborne infections.
The Foodbook Report summarizes the food, water and animal exposure information collected during the survey. Data are summarized nationally, by province and territory and by a number of demographic characteristics (e.g., gender, income, education level).
2. OBJECTIVE OF DATA USER GUIDE
The objective of this data user guide is to provide background on how the data were processed to create the Excel file received from PHAC as well as quality assurance recommendations. A codebook is available with the dataset, which includes the variable and value names and the number of missing values. In addition, the questions asked and variable names can be found in Appendix B.
Any questions regarding this user guide or the Foodbook Excel file should be sent to: phac.foodbook.aspc@canada.ca
3. DATA PROCESSING
Refused and don't know values
All values for "refused" and "don't know" were recoded to "missing". This is represented in the Excel file by an empty cell. For most analyses, these values should not be used in the calculation of estimates. Most software packages will remove these observations automatically, with no special direction from the user.
Creation of derived variables
To facilitate data analysis and to minimize the risk of error, a number of variables on the file have been derived using those found on the Foodbook questionnaire (refer to Appendix B). All derived variables have a "_dv" appended to the variable name. With the exception of variables listed below, all of the original variables were dropped from the dataset. Please refer to the Codebook for a list of all variable names and labels. There are four main types of derived variables on the file.
(1) The first set of derived variables were generated to facilitate analysis and reporting:
- A derived month variable (month _dv) was generated using survey end date
- A derived age group variable (age_grp4_dv) was generated using AGE
- A derived language variable (lang_dv) was generated to include the five languages that were previously captured in open text
- Derived variables (Q113_A_dv, Q113_B_dv, Q113_C_dv, Q113_D_dv) were created for the multiple choice values for primary source of drinking water (Q113)
(2) The second set of derived variables is based on questions that are related by skip patterns in the survey. A skip pattern is a situation in which a main question is asked of respondents and only those responding a particular way to this question are asked subsequent questions. The unprocessed data file reflects these patterns. If there was a non-negative response to a main question in a skip pattern, usually yes/don't know/refused, the respondents were asked subsequent questions. In this survey, sub-questions were usually on food items within the food category mentioned in the main question. This is common in surveys to reduce the survey length. Derived versions of these variables were made to carry forward the number of negative answers in the main question to the sub-question. This ensures that the full denominator (representing the full population) is used for prevalence estimates, a key value that many users will wish to calculate.
Furthermore, since respondents who responded don't know/refused to the main question were asked the sub-questions in the skip pattern, it is possible that a positive response, or yes, was recorded in the sub-question(s). These yes responses were carried back to the main question such that the "don't know" or "refused" response was recoded to "yes". Thus, for all sets of skip pattern questions, "no" responses were forward coded to any sub-questions to make the denominator representative of the full population and "yes" responses to the sub-questions were carried back to main question to ensure a consistent set of responses for the whole set.
Forward and back coding was performed on questions for: tomatoes, sprouts, onions, store-bought prepared salads, lettuce or leafy greens, nuts, beef, hamburgers, pork, poultry, deli-meat, fish and seafood, shellfish, dairy and cheese, recreational water, animal exposures.
Example:
- Respondents were first asked a question on whether they ate any tomatoes. Only those who responded "Yes", "Don't know", or "Refused" were asked the subsequent question on eating Roma tomatoes.
- Replace Roma tomatoes with "No" if Any tomatoes equals "No"
- Replace Any tomatoes with "Yes" if Roma tomatoes equals "Yes" and Any tomatoes equals "Don't know" or "Refused"
(3) Questions allowing for multiple responses (checkbox style) were recoded to yes/no style questions. They were also forward and back coded as mentioned in section (2) above. Inconsistencies across the multiple responses were recoded. Multiple responses were allowed for the following exposures: type of shawarma/donair (e.g., chicken, beef, pork); location of shawarma/donair purchase (e.g., sit down restaurant, food stand); pool, hot tub and waterpark exposures (e.g., indoor, outdoor).
Example:
- If the respondent responded "Yes" to Hot tub, they were asked if the Hot tub was indoor or outdoor.
- If the respondent selected Indoor hot tub, then the checkbox for Indoor hot tub was replaced with "Yes"
- Similar to (2) above, replace Indoor hot tub and Outdoor hot tub with "No" if Hot tub equals "No"
- Similar to (2) above, replace Hot tub with "Yes" if "Indoor hot tub" or "Outdoor hot tub" equals "Yes" and Hot tub equals "Don't know" or "Refused"
(4) The final set of derived variables provides convenient measures of broader exposure groups. For instance, there were four questions on the survey about berries.
Example:
- Create new variable anyberries_dv. Set anyberries_dv to missing.
- If respondent responded "Yes" to Strawberries OR Raspberries OR Blueberries OR Blackberries, then replace anyberries_dv with "Yes"
- If respondent responded "No" to Strawberries AND Raspberries AND Blueberries AND Blackberries, then replace anyberries_dv with "No"
Combined derived variables were applied as follows: any baby formula, any carrots, any fresh herbs, any spices, any melon, any berries, any ground beef, any poultry, other shawarma/donnair, any country meat, any country seafood, any eggs, other eggs, any raw dairy, any frozen fruit, meal at a fast food restaurant, go into any natural water.
Creation of the public use microdata file
The public use microdata file (PUMF) was generated from the Foodbook master file, and is designed to reduce the probability of identifying respondents to an acceptable level of risk while maintaining the file's usefulness and analytic potential. At this time the Northern Community questions, the food safety module, and the gastrointestinal symptoms module are not included in the PUMF. If users have questions about this excluded content, or would like to request access to this excluded content, please contact phac.foodbook.aspc@canada.ca. Changes made to produce the Foodbook PUMF are summarized in Appendix A.
4. QUALITY ASSURANCE - GUIDELINES
These quality assurance guidelines were adapted from the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) Annual component User guide for the 2012 and 2011-2012 Microdata files (June 2013).
The following guidelines are concerned with the quality of estimates being produced from the Foodbook Excel file. Because the results of some tabulations might not meet minimum quality requirements, for example, because the researcher wishes to examine a small population, care must be exercised in the use and interpretation of the estimates.
Here are a few items to keep in mind:
- Foodbook is a sample survey. The sampling rate varies across the country, age, and gender to name only a few factors, and the weights vary accordingly. In calculating your estimates, always use the weight field EXPWEIGHT_CMA2 or EXPWEIGHT_CMA2_DV. Consult your statistical software on how to incorporate this weight variable into the commands.
- Remember that the weights are designed to provide population estimates of persons living in households. The weights do not reflect the number of households. There are no household weights on the file.
- If the number of sampled respondents who contribute to the calculation of the estimate (unweighted count) is less than 10, the weighted estimate should not be released. This value can be found in the output of most estimation commands in most software programs. If not, run a simple tabulation or count command with the same exclusions to ensure the sample is large enough.
- Keep in mind the following general rule concerning the coefficient of variation (CV=1/t-statistic of the estimate):
- a CV between 0.0 and 16.5% indicates that the estimate is most probably of good quality, with an acceptable degree of variability;
- a CV between 16.6 and 33.3% reflects a marginal estimate that should be interpreted accordingly and identified as such in any publication;
- a CV greater than 33.3% indicates an estimate of poor quality that should not be considered for publication, or should be strongly qualified if used.
- Though an estimate may be of very poor quality on its own, it may be statistically different from larger estimates of the same value from other populations, like cases. Thus, it may still be useful for case-control comparisons.
- When publishing totals, it is recommended to round the figures to the closest hundred, or to the closest thousand if the figures are large enough. No more than three significant digits is suggested. Publishing an exact, unrounded total provides a false sense of accuracy about the data.
- For the same reason, published ratios or proportions should be rounded to no more than one decimal point.
- Height and weight variables include extreme values as well as unresolved reporting errors. It is strongly recommended that thorough cleaning be performed prior to any analysis.
- The variables CMA_NAME_dv, cma_dv and StrongMIZ are based on the Forward Sortation Area (FSA) of the respondent.
