Abstract

ABSTRACT This secondary analysis examined the differences in food security, knowledge of eligibility for food assistance programs, and access to food programming across students attending two- and four-year public postsecondary institutions in the state of Connecticut. This study found two-year college students experienced a higher prevalence of food insecurity and were also more aware of their eligibility for SNAP than students attending four-year institutions. Additionally, all institutions provided students with an on-campus food pantry. Further research is needed to understand differences in food security and opportunities to address student barriers to the use of available resources to support food security.
