摘要

背景食物不安全是阿巴拉契亚农村地区和大学校园的一个主要问题。为了解决这一问题,马歇尔大学营养学系开设了一个校园食品储藏室,通过提供营养丰富的食品和教育,为学生和社区提供服务,努力改善健康食品的获取途径并鼓励健康行为。研究设计、设置、参与者在储藏室访问期间,通过笔/纸或电子方式对客户进行为期两周的 24 项试点调查。调查采用开放式、多项选择和李克特量表回答法,收集与人口统计学、食品和营养态度与行为以及建议/担忧相关的数据。对客户背景、食品储藏室使用情况、饥饿和食物供应问题、当前营养知识和行为以及营养相关行为改变的潜力进行了描述性统计。结果收集并分析了 26 份调查,确定大多数用户(85%)是社区成员,而不是学生,半数用户每周使用食品储藏室。主要的杂货经销商是另一个主要的食品采购来源,只有一名客户使用当地的农贸市场。73%的人表示在过去的一个月里由于家里缺少食物而不吃东西。几乎所有人(96.0%)都能使用基本的烹饪工具和设备,半数人在家中准备了从食物储藏室获得的食谱。总体而言,大多数人 "同意 "或 "非常同意 "食品储藏室能让他们尝试各种健康食品、容易获得并能提高准备和食用营养丰富食品的自我效能。此外,调查结构提供了收集所需数据的适当信息,以便在食品采购和营养教育计划方面做出明智的决策。试点调查很成功,可以进一步分发。

Investigation of Access to Healthy Food and Healthy Behaviors in a University Food Pantry

Background

Food insecurity is a major concern in rural Appalachia and on college campuses. To combat the problem, Marshall University Department of Dietetics operates a campus food pantry serving students and the community by providing nutrient dense foods and education in an effort to improve access to healthy food and encourage healthy behaviors.

Objective

To better understand the background and needs of pantry clients to provide the most appropriate and needed services/education.

Study Design, Settings, Participants

A 24 item pilot survey was administered over two weeks via pen/paper or electronically to clients during a pantry visit. It utilized open ended, multiple choice, and Likert scale responses to gather data related to demographics, food and nutrition attitudes and behaviors, and suggestions/concerns.

Measurable Outcome/Analysis

Qualtrics was utilized to input and analyze survey data. Descriptive statistics were calculated related to client background, pantry use, hunger and food availability issues, current nutrition knowledge and behaviors, and potential for nutrition related behavior change.

Results

Twenty-six surveys were collected and analyzed and determined the majority of users (85%) were community members, not students, and half used the pantry weekly. Major grocery distributors were the other primary source of food procurement with only one client using a local farmers’ market. Seventy-three percent reported skipping meals in the past month due to lack of food at home. Nearly all (96.0%) had access to basic cooking tools and equipment, and half had prepared recipes at home that they received from the pantry. Overall, most “agreed” or “strongly agreed” that the pantry allows them to try a wide variety of healthy foods, is accessible, and improves self-efficacy related to preparing and consuming nutrient dense foods.

Conclusions

The pantry is meeting the primary objectives of improving access to healthy foods and encouraging healthy behaviors. Additionally, survey construction provides appropriate information to collect required data for making informed decisions regarding food procurement and nutrition education programming. The pilot survey was successful and ready for further distribution.
