Hygiene Behavior And The Risk Of Hepatitis Among Street Food Vendors In Surabaya
Background: Street food vendors are a vital part of urban food systems in Indonesia, yet their hygiene practices remain poorly regulated, contributing to the spread of foodborne diseases such as hepatitis. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between hygiene behavior and the risk of hepatitis among street food vendors in Surabaya. Method: A quantitative analytical method with a cross-sectional design was applied to 120 purposively selected vendors.
