Experiences With “Acute” Food Insecurity Among College Students

Abstract

This study sought to understand which racial/ethnic student groups experience food insecurity and the extent to which other external insecurities and challenges are predictive of acute food insecurity. Data were derived from the Community College Success Measure (CCSM), an institutional needs assessment tool used by colleges to examine challenges facing underserved students. Findings from this research demonstrated that multiethnic and Black students are most likely to experience food insecurity.
