The first of these resources is the Three Phases of Effective Interviewing.
This 20-min interview guides learners through the three phases of foodborne disease interviews
- Prepping for the interview
- Conducting the interview
- Finishing the interview
Additionally, it outlines helpful tips and tricks for conducting an effective interview.
Product Use
In addition to being part of the Food Safety CoE Core Curriculum, this video can also be used as:

- An addition to program specific trainings where an introduction to interviewing is needed.
Disclaimer: We recommend new staff that have little to no experience with disease interviewing watch these video resources in conjunction with mock interview training.
