This study tested whether days on campus, financial access through a meal plan, and health consciousness were associated with number of meals that college students obtained from fast food restaurants.
In April 2013, all students currently enrolled in a meal plan were invited to participate in an online survey (N = 1,246). Students were asked to report the total number of meals eaten in the past week and where they obtained them.
Negative binomial regression was used, and it was found that the number of meals obtained from fast food restaurants was positively associated with financial access and negatively associated with health consciousness. An association between days on campus and the number of meals obtained from fast food restaurants was not found.
Increasing levels of health consciousness and reducing access to fast food restaurants through flex plans may reduce college students' consumption of fast food.
本研究旨在检验在校天数、通过饮食计划获得的经济支持以及健康意识是否与大学生从快餐店获取的餐食数量相关。
2013年4月，所有当时参与饮食计划的学生受邀参加一项在线调查（N = 1246）。学生们被要求报告过去一周所吃餐食的总数以及获取餐食的地点。
采用负二项回归分析，结果发现从快餐店获取的餐食数量与经济支持呈正相关，与健康意识呈负相关。未发现在校天数与从快餐店获取的餐食数量之间存在关联。
提高健康意识水平以及通过灵活计划减少对快餐店的接触，可能会减少大学生对快餐的消费。
