Food Hygiene's Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices between Urban and Suburban Adolescents

An independent samples t-test was conducted to examine whether there was a significant difference between urban and suburban about the impact of parental influences towards food hygiene practices. The test revealed that there are no statistically significant difference between urban and suburban (t = 0.779, df = 394.29, p > 0.001). Urban adolescents (M = 19.615, SD = 3.024) reported significantly equal with the overall parental influences suburban adolescents (M = 19.390, SD= 2.743). The result indicates that similar parental influences due to increased food safety awareness and information communication technology can be easily passed down to their children.
