Abstract

Objective: Identify the prevalence of food insecurity (FI) and compare sociodemographic, mental, physical, behavioral, and environmental risk factors for FI among students at a private university, community college, and historically black college or university (HBCU).

Participants: Adult students attending a private university, community college, or HBCU (n = 4,140) located within the southeastern United States.

Methods: Using an online survey (2017-2019), FI, sociodemographic, mental, physical, behavioral, and environmental data were collected to understand their association with FI.

Results: Up to 37.1% of students experienced FI. Identifying as black, other/multi-racial, having poor sleep, federal loans, depressive symptoms, high stress, social isolation, or a chronic condition were associated with FI. These associations varied by institution.

Conclusions: FI is prevalent within diverse post-secondary institutions that serve traditional and nontraditional students with risk factors varying between institutions. The prevalence of FI and risk factors can inform institutional policy responses to ameliorate the effects of FI.

不同中学后教育机构学生粮食不安全的风险因素：一项横断面调查。

目的：确定私立大学、社区学院和历史上黑人学院或大学（HBCU）学生的粮食不安全（FI）患病率，并比较FI的社会人口、心理、身体、行为和环境风险因素 = 4140）。方法：使用一项在线调查（2017-2019），收集FI、社会人口统计、心理、身体、行为和环境数据，以了解他们与FI的关系。结果：高达37.1%的学生经历过FI。被认定为黑人、其他/多种族、睡眠不良、联邦贷款、抑郁症状、高压力，社会孤立或慢性疾病与FI有关。这些关联因机构而异。结论：FI在为传统和非传统学生服务的不同高等教育机构中普遍存在，不同机构的风险因素各不相同。金融机构的普遍性和风险因素可以为改善金融机构影响的机构政策反应提供信息。
