- Food insecurity in higher education studentsPublication . Paula, Aline de; Carneiro, Beatriz; Mendes, Inês; Pacheco, Mariana; Gonçalves, Marta; Pinto, Ezequiel; Palma Mateus, MariaFood insecurity (FI) indicates a situation in which there is no regular access to food in satisfactory quantity and quality. To characterize FI in students from Portuguese higher education institutions, a study was conducted in a non-random sample of students, with an online questionnaire consisting of sociodemographic questions and the Portuguese version of the IF scale. There were 200 valid questionnaires and 27.5% of the participants were classified as having some degree of FI. Participants with FI reported fewer visits to the family’s home (p = 0.024) and less financial resources (p < 0.001). The results indicate that interventions are needed in this area.
