Investigate the relationships between food security status and cooking self-efficacy and food preparation behaviors among college students.
Students living off campus while attending the University of Alabama completed an online survey between February and April 2016. Food security status was assessed using the Adult Food Security Survey Module. Cooking self-efficacy and food preparation behaviors were assessed using validated questionnaires. Multiple regression analysis was used to test for significant differences in cooking self-efficacy and food preparation scores by food security status.
Among respondents (n = 368), 38.3% were food insecure. Very low food secure students had significantly lower cooking self-efficacy scores and food preparation scores than food secure students (P = .001).
Preparing meals at home is less common for very low food secure students, and these students demonstrate less confidence in cooking ability. Further study of food-related decisions and trade-offs under resource constraints are needed.
调查大学生的食品安全状况与烹饪自我效能感及食物准备行为之间的关系。
2016年2月至4月期间，就读于阿拉巴马大学且住在校外的学生完成了一项在线调查。使用成人食品安全调查模块评估食品安全状况。使用经过验证的问卷评估烹饪自我效能感和食物准备行为。多元回归分析用于检验不同食品安全状况下烹饪自我效能感和食物准备得分的显著差异。
在368名受访者中，38.3%的人存在食品安全问题。粮食安全水平极低的学生的烹饪自我效能感得分和食物准备得分显著低于粮食安全的学生（P = 0.001）。
对于粮食安全水平极低的学生来说，在家做饭不太常见，并且这些学生对烹饪能力的信心较低。需要进一步研究资源受限情况下与食物相关的决策和权衡。
