This study sampled college students at a medium-sized university to explore the prevalence of food insecurity, as well as frequency of multiple coping behaviors. Participants: The research team randomly sampled 25% of all students attending at least one on-campus class in October 2017, obtaining a response rate of 14.9% ( 547). Using a previously validated instrument, the research team launched an online version of the survey. All students in the sample received an e-mail link to the survey. Students with lower food security seem to be more likely to engage in potentially obesogenic coping behaviors, such as purchasing cheap, processed foods, and overeating when food is plentiful. Improved access to nutritious food could decrease risk for overweight and obesity in college students. Respondents most commonly identified increased education and skill development as most helpful to improve their food situation.
本研究对一所中型大学的大学生进行了抽样，以探究粮食不安全的患病率以及多种应对行为的频率。参与者：研究团队于2017年10月从所有至少参加一门校内课程的学生中随机抽取25%作为样本，得到的回复率为14.9%（547人）。研究团队使用之前经过验证的工具，推出了该调查的在线版本。样本中的所有学生都收到了调查的电子邮件链接。粮食安全程度较低的学生似乎更有可能采取可能导致肥胖的应对行为，比如购买便宜的加工食品，以及在食物充足时暴饮暴食。增加获得营养食品的机会可以降低大学生超重和肥胖的风险。受访者最常认为增加教育和技能发展对改善他们的饮食状况最有帮助。
