![]() These associations were more pronounced among first-generation students. In adjusted models, food insecurity was associated with lower odds of college graduation (OR 0.57, 95% CI: 0.37, 0.88, p=0.01) and lower likelihood of obtaining a Bachelor’s degree (RRR 0.57 95% CI: 0.35, 0.92, p=0.02) or graduate/professional degree (RRR 0.39, 95% CI: 0.17, 0.86, p=0.022). ![]() Results: In 1999-2003, 14.5% of college students were food insecure and were more likely to be older, non-White, and first-generation students. Setting: United States (US) Participants: A nationally representative, balanced panel of 1,574 college students in the US in 1999-2003 with follow-up through 2015-2017 from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. Logistic and multinomial-logit models adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics were estimated. Educational attainment was measured in 2015-2017 via two questions about college completion and highest degree attained. We measured food insecurity concurrent with college enrollment using the 18-question USDA Household Food Security Survey Module. Design: Secondary analysis of longitudinal panel data. Abstract Objective: To examine the effect of food insecurity during college on graduation and degree attainment.
