Abstract

Objective: To describe current food insecurity (FI)-related training among nutrition/dietetics, public health, and social work students.

Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was used among students (n = 306) enrolled in health-related programs at 12 US universities. Participants reported FI-related course-based and extracurricular experiences and rated confidence to address FI on a scale of 1-3. Open-ended questions investigated perceived definitions of FI and impactful course activities. Descriptive statistics and thematic analysis were used for data analysis.

Results: Participants' FI definitions were multifaceted. Most (80.6%) reported FI being covered in at least 1 course. The overall mean confidence to address FI was 2.2 ± 0.48. Participants suggested increasing application-based opportunities and skills training.

Conclusions and implications: Most students have a basic understanding of FI and report high confidence to address it in the future. Impactful FI-related experiences and participants' suggestions guide developing an FI training resource to enhance student FI competency and sensitivity.

健康专业大学生的食品不安全知识和培训。

目的描述营养学/饮食学、公共卫生和社会工作专业学生目前接受的与粮食不安全（FI）相关的培训情况：对美国 12 所大学健康相关专业的学生（n = 306）进行了横向在线调查。参与者报告了与家庭健康相关的课程和课外经历，并对解决家庭健康问题的信心进行了1-3级评分。开放式问题调查了人们对健康教育和有影响力的课程活动的认知定义。数据分析采用了描述性统计和主题分析：结果：参与者对 FI 的定义是多方面的。大多数人（80.6%）报告说，在至少一门课程中涉及到了融合。解决 FI 问题的总体平均信心指数为 2.2 ± 0.48。参与者建议增加以应用为基础的机会和技能培训：大多数学生对金融信息有基本的了解，并表示对将来解决金融信息问题很有信心。与金融投资相关的重要经验和参与者的建议为开发金融投资培训资源提供了指导，以提高学生的金融投资能力和敏感性。
