The objective of this study was to develop and to test the validity and reliability of a survey aimed to evaluate internal and external factors associated with college food insecurity. Researchers used a mixed methods approach to evaluate the College Perspectives around Food Insecurity survey. Survey items were constructed from interview data and assigned a social cognitive theory concept (environment, personal, or behavior). Two rounds of expert reviews established content validity (Round 1, n = 3; Round 2, n = 2). Researchers evaluated face validity through two rounds of cognitive interviews with college students 18+ years old (Round 1, n = 9; Round 2, n = 16) and tested survey reliability (n = 105). Researchers used descriptive statistics, test-retest reliability statistics, and Cronbach's alpha scores for data analysis. The initial survey contained 143 items. After feedback from expert reviewers and cognitive interviews, the final survey contained 99 items. Test-retest reliability was 0.99, and Cronbach's alpha scores were 0.74 for environment, 0.47 for personal, and 0.39 for behavior. The College Perspectives around Food Insecurity survey can be used to better understand internal and external factors associated with food insecurity in college students, which can inform interventions aimed at assisting this population.
本研究的目的是开发并测试一项旨在评估与大学生粮食不安全相关的内部和外部因素的调查的有效性和可靠性。研究人员采用混合方法来评估《围绕粮食不安全的大学视角》调查。调查项目基于访谈数据构建，并被赋予一个社会认知理论概念（环境、个人或行为）。两轮专家评审确立了内容效度（第一轮，n = 3；第二轮，n = 2）。研究人员通过对18岁及以上大学生进行两轮认知访谈来评估表面效度（第一轮，n = 9；第二轮，n = 16），并测试了调查的信度（n = 105）。研究人员使用描述性统计、重测信度统计和克朗巴哈系数得分进行数据分析。初始调查包含143个项目。在收到专家评审和认知访谈的反馈后，最终调查包含99个项目。重测信度为0.99，环境方面的克朗巴哈系数得分为0.74，个人方面为0.47，行为方面为0.39。《围绕粮食不安全的大学视角》调查可用于更好地理解与大学生粮食不安全相关的内部和外部因素，这可为旨在帮助这一人群的干预措施提供参考。
