description Literature databases were scanned to locate articles pertaining to food handler education and restaurant inspection. Papers which met pre-established criteria, as described in the generic protocol produced by the Community Health Practice Guidelines Project (CHPG), were evaluated by standardized consideration of criteria. Studies were rated on a scale of one to three. There were eight papers related to the intervention of education, four papers dealing with the intervention of restaurant inspection, and one pertaining to both. The evidence presented in the papers regarding the effectiveness of food handler training in improving food establishment sanitation was weak, but it appeared that some training resulted in improved inspection scores. It appeared that inspections were beneficial, although it was not clear whether three or more inspections were better than two. No inspections appeared to result in worse inspection scores. On a procédé à un balayage des bases de données de textes publiés afin de repérer les articles ayant trait à la formation en matière de manutention des aliments et à l'inspection des restaurants. Les textes qui répondaient à des critères établis au préalable et décrits dans le protocole général élaboré dans le cadre du projet Directives en matière de pratiques de santé communautaire (DPSC) ont été évalués en fonction d'une acception normalisée des critères. On a évalué les études selon une échelle de un à trois. Parmi les textes relevés, huit portaient sur l'intervention éducative, quatre traitaient de l'intervention par l'inspection de restaurants et un avait trait à ces deux formes d'intervention. Les preuves qu'offrent ces documents, quant à l'efficacité de la formation des préposés à la manutention des aliments comme moyen d'améliorer les conditions d'hygiène dans les établissements où l'on sert de la nourriture, se sont révélées plutôt maigres, mais il semble qu'un certain degré de formation ait permis de hausser les notes accordées lors des inspections. Il apparaît aussi que les inspections ont un effet bénéfique, mais on n'a pas pu préciser si trois inspections ou plus donnaient de meilleurs résultats que deux. L'absence d'inspections semble entraîner des notes inférieures au moment des évaluations.
