Abstract
College students completed a food security survey (n=1092). Twenty-seven percent reported experiencing food insecurity (FI) during the previous 30 days. Rates of FI were higher among students who reported minoritized racial, ethnic and sexual identities. As compared to FS students, FI students reported greater financial stress and worse mental health.
