Abstract

College student food insecurity (FI) is a public health concern. Programming and policies to support students have expanded but utilisation is often limited. The aim of this study was to summarise the barriers to accessing college FI programming guided by the social ecological model (SEM) framework. A scoping review of peer-reviewed literature included an electronic search conducted in MEDLINE, ERIC, and PubMed databases, with a secondary search in Google Scholar. Of the 138 articles identified, 18 articles met eligibility criteria and were included. Articles primarily encompassed organisational (17/18) level barriers, followed by individual (15/18), relationship (15/18), community (9/18), and policy (6/18) levels. Individual barriers included seven themes: Knowledge of Process, Awareness, Limited Time or Schedules, Personal Transportation, Internal Stigma, Perception of Need, and Type of Student. Four relationship barriers were identified: External Stigma, Comparing Need, Limited Availability Causes Negative Perceptions, and Staff. Ten barrier themes comprised the organisational level: Application Process, Operational Process, Location, Hours of Operation, Food Quality, Food Quantity, Food Desirability or Variety of Food, Marketing Materials, Awareness of the Program, and COVID-19 Restrictions. Two barrier themes were identified at the community level, Public Transportation and Awareness of SNAP, while one barrier theme, SNAP Eligibility and Process, encompassed the policy level. Higher education stakeholders should seek to overcome these barriers to the use of food programmes as a means to address the issue of college FI. This review offers recommendations to overcome these barriers at each SEM level.

大学生获取食物的障碍:对政策、制度和环境的范围审查。
大学生食物不安全(FI)是一个公共卫生问题。支持学生的计划和政策已经扩大,但利用率往往有限。本研究旨在以社会生态模型 (SEM) 框架为指导,总结大学生在获取 FI 计划时遇到的障碍。本研究对经同行评审的文献进行了范围界定审查,包括在 MEDLINE、ERIC 和 PubMed 数据库中进行电子检索,以及在 Google Scholar 中进行二次检索。在确定的 138 篇文章中,有 18 篇符合资格标准并被收录。文章主要包括组织(17/18)层面的障碍,其次是个人(15/18)、关系(15/18)、社区(9/18)和政策(6/18)层面的障碍。个人障碍包括七个主题:对过程的了解、认识、有限的时间或日程安排、个人交通、内部耻辱感、对需求的看法以及学生类型。确定了四个关系障碍:外部成见、比较需求、有限的可用性导致负面看法和工作人员。组织层面有十个障碍主题:申请流程、操作流程、地点、营业时间、食品质量、食品数量、食品可取性或食品种类、营销材料、对计划的认识以及 COVID-19 限制。在社区层面确定了两个障碍主题,即公共交通和对 SNAP 的认识,而一个障碍主题,即 SNAP 资格和程序,则涵盖了政策层面。高等教育利益相关者应努力克服这些使用食品计划的障碍,将其作为解决大学 FI 问题的一种手段。本综述提出了在各个 SEM 层面克服这些障碍的建议。
