Abstract

The main purpose of the study was to determine selected aspects of the small business food service operators' perceptions regarding the need for training adult food service workers in the Altonna area of Pennsylvania. Information was gathered to help determine the operators' perceptions of the type of training, training site, and their commitment ofmoney and time. Questionnaires were sent to all food service operators who were not members of a chain food service organization. Two follow-up letters, and a selective telephone follow-up resulted in a 31% return, which did not demonstrate an avid interest for a food service training program. The respondents who were favorable toward further training were characterized by a larger yearly volume of business. Respondents supported the idea of utilizing the Altoona Area Vocational-Technical School facilities for inservice training. Promotional considerations for potential food service clientele also are explored: in-house training programs for small food service business operators; interaction of the Cooperative Extension Service home economist, the home economics departments in high schools, and the city sanitarian; service clubs; voluntary community youth groups; high school clubs or organizations; and the feasibility of licensure of food service workers. A bibliography is appended. (EA)

Abstract

Objective: This exploratory research sought to extend the cleft phenotype by identifying movement-related soft tissue appearance changes in the midfacial region in individuals with cleft lip/palate or those with genetic susceptibility to cleft lip/palate (unaffected relatives). The cleft phenotype (clinically identified orofacial cleft or subclinical orbicularis oris defect) was hypothesized to be associated with movement related appearance changes in the midfacial region, e.g., with furrowing and dimpling during speech. Design: Changes in the appearance of skin in the midfacial region, including a newly identified phenotypic feature, nasolabial fold (NLF) discontinuity, were described and compared across groups. Participants: Individuals with cleft lip (n = 42), unaffected relatives of persons with a cleft (n = 57) and healthy controls (n = 41) were compared. Results: Frequencies of NLF discontinuity differed across cleft, relative, and control groups. NLF discontinuities were observed more frequently in individuals with a cleft phenotype (overt cleft or previously identified orbicularis oris muscle defect) than in those with no underlying muscular defect (Fisher exact test, P= .014). Conclusion: Results suggest that the appearance of facial soft tissue during movement of the midface is moderated at least in part by underlying cleft risk factors, indicating certain facial movements as candidate physical markers for extension of the cleft phenotype.
