Numerous international studies have examined cross-sectional correlates of food insecurity (FI) among postsecondary education students. Research is needed to synthesize the findings of this work to support vulnerable students.
To systematically review peer-reviewed and gray literature to assess the prevalence of FI on postsecondary education institutions, as well as factors related to FI among students and suggested/practiced solutions.
Systematic literature review. Medline, Web of Science, and PsycINFO databases were searched for peer-reviewed literature for FI research; a Google search (Google Inc) was conducted to obtain gray literature on FI among postsecondary education students.
PARTICIPANTS/SETTING: Undergraduate and graduate students at postsecondary institutions of higher education.
Measures included prevalence of FI; sociodemographic, health, and academic factors related to FI; and solutions to address FI on postsecondary institutions.
Seventeen peer-reviewed studies and 41 sources of gray literature were identified (out of 11,476 titles). All studies were cross-sectional. Rates of FI were high among students, with average rates across the gray and peer-reviewed literature of 35% and 42%, respectively. FI was consistently associated with financial independence, poor health, and adverse academic outcomes. Suggested solutions to address food security among postsecondary institutions addressed all areas of the socioecologic model, but the solutions most practiced included those in the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and institutional levels.
FI is a major public health problem among postsecondary education students. Studies are needed to assess the long-term influence of FI among this vulnerable population. More research is needed on the effectiveness of FI interventions.
众多国际研究探讨了高等教育学生中粮食不安全（FI）的横断面相关性。需要开展研究以综合这项工作的结果，为弱势学生提供支持。
系统回顾同行评审文献和灰色文献，以评估高等教育机构中FI的患病率，以及与学生FI相关的因素和建议/实施的解决方案。
系统文献综述。检索了Medline、科学引文索引和心理学文摘数据库中的同行评审文献，以进行FI研究；通过谷歌搜索（谷歌公司）获取高等教育学生中FI的灰色文献。
参与者/背景：高等教育机构的本科生和研究生。
指标包括FI的患病率；与FI相关的社会人口学、健康和学业因素；以及高等教育机构解决FI的方案。
共识别出17项同行评审研究和41篇灰色文献来源（在11476篇标题中）。所有研究均为横断面研究。学生中FI的发生率较高，灰色文献和同行评审文献中的平均发生率分别为35%和42%。FI一直与经济独立、健康状况差和不良学业成绩相关。高等教育机构解决粮食安全问题的建议方案涉及社会生态模型的所有领域，但最常实施的方案包括个人、人际和机构层面的方案。
FI是高等教育学生中的一个主要公共卫生问题。需要开展研究以评估FI对这一弱势群体的长期影响。需要更多关于FI干预措施有效性的研究。
