许多国际研究已经调查了高等教育学生中粮食不安全（FI）的横断面相关性。需要对这项工作的发现进行综合研究，以支持弱势学生。目的系统回顾同行评议文献和灰色文献，以评估高等教育机构中FI的患病率，以及学生中FI的相关因素和建议/实践解决方案。设计系统的文献综述。在Medline、Web of Science和PsycINFO数据库中搜索FI研究的同行评议文献；通过谷歌检索（谷歌Inc）获得关于高等教育学生FI的灰色文献。参与者/设置高等院校的本科生和研究生。主要结果测量指标包括FI患病率；与FI相关的社会人口、健康和学术因素；以及解决专上院校融资问题的方法。结果17项同行评议研究和41个灰色文献来源（从11476个标题中）被确定。所有的研究都是横断面的。学生的FI率很高，灰色文献和同行评议文献的平均比率分别为35%和42%。FI始终与经济独立、健康状况不佳和不良学业成绩相关。解决高等教育机构粮食安全问题的建议解决方案涉及社会生态学模型的所有领域，但最常用的解决方案包括人际关系、人际关系和制度层面的解决方案。结论FI是高等教育学生的主要公共卫生问题。需要研究来评估FI对这一弱势群体的长期影响。需要对FI干预的有效性进行更多的研究。
Background Numerous international studies have examined cross-sectional correlates of food insecurity (FI) among postsecondary education students. Research is needed to synthesize the findings of this work to support vulnerable students.Objective To systematically review peer-reviewed and gray literature to assess the prevalence of FI on postsecondary education institutions, as well as factors related to FI among students and suggested/practiced solutions.Design Systematic literature review. Medline, Web of Science, and PsycINFO databases were searched for peer-reviewed literature for FI research; a Google search (Google Inc) was conducted to obtain gray literature on FI among postsecondary education students.Participants/setting Undergraduate and graduate students at postsecondary institutions of higher education.Main outcome measures Measures included prevalence of FI; sociodemographic, health, and academic factors related to FI; and solutions to address FI on postsecondary institutions.Results Seventeen peer-reviewed studies and 41 sources of gray literature were identified (out of 11,476 titles). All studies were cross-sectional. Rates of FI were high among students, with average rates across the gray and peer-reviewed literature of 35% and 42%, respectively. FI was consistently associated with financial independence, poor health, and adverse academic outcomes. Suggested solutions to address food security among postsecondary institutions addressed all areas of the socioecologic model, but the solutions most practiced included those in the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and institutional levels.Conclusions FI is a major public health problem among postsecondary education students. Studies are needed to assess the long-term influence of FI among this vulnerable population. More research is needed on the effectiveness of FI interventions.
