Abstract

Abstract: Food insecurity negatively impacts collegiate academic performance, mental and social health and overall health status. However, nothing is known on the effectiveness of evidence-based programs to address food insecurity in college students. Opportunity remains to conduct intervention-specific research targeted at reduction food insecurity prevalence on college campuses.
