OBJECTIVES
The relative high rates of homelessness and housing insecurity among college students has become a public health concern within the U.S. This study explores the relationship between housing instability in relation to academic and mental health outcomes.
PARTICIPANTS
College students attending a larger public university ( = 1,416 students; M age = 22.54; 47.2% Pell Eligible; 54.6% racially/ethnically minoritized students) were surveyed employing cluster-sampling in the Fall Semester of 2019.
METHODS
Participants completed validated measures of housing instability, mental health outcomes, and demographics. Additional measures were matched with survey responses through the Office of Institutional Research (i.e., GPA, Pell Grant eligibility).
RESULTS
Students who experienced housing insecurity and homelessness were more likely to have a lower GPA as well as poorer mental health outcomes.
CONCLUSION
Findings highlight implications surrounding the need for housing programs and additional financial support in an effort to bolster students' academic performance and mental well-being.
目的
在美国，大学生中相对较高的无家可归率和住房不安全率已成为公共卫生关注的问题。本研究探讨了住房不稳定与学业和心理健康结果之间的关系。
参与者
参加大型公立大学的大学生（ = 1416 名学生；平均年龄为 22.54 岁；47.2%符合佩尔助学金资格；54.6%为少数族裔学生）于 2019 年秋季采用聚类抽样进行了调查。
方法
参与者完成了住房不稳定、心理健康结果和人口统计学的有效测量。通过机构研究办公室（即，平均绩点，佩尔助学金资格）将其他措施与调查结果相匹配。
结果
经历住房不安全和无家可归的学生更有可能获得较低的平均绩点和较差的心理健康结果。
结论
研究结果强调了住房计划和额外经济支持的必要性，以提高学生的学业成绩和心理健康。
