ABSTRACT
Background: In North America, upwards of 59% of postsecondary students experience food insecurity and there has been little study of students attending community college. The goal of this was to find out the prevalence of food insecurity among a largely international cohort of students attending a community college in Toronto, Canada. Methods: Students (N = 824) were surveyed using questions from the USDA Food Security Survey Module to find out their level of food insecurity Results: 334 students participated in the survey (41% participation rate). The overall rate of food insecurity was found to be 77.2%, including 40.4% with moderate food insecurity and 36.8% with severe food insecurity. Conclusions: There is a need to address food insecurity among students attending community college.
