    Description

    Food insecurity is a term that analyzes the ability for people to be able to financially support their nutritional needs. Due to the financial responsibilities placed on college students, many struggle to reach a stable level of food security, and thus have trouble meeting their nutritional needs. Proper nutrition has been shown to have a positive effect on cognitive performance. Because of this, we decided to analyze the effect of food security on academic performance in college students. By sending out the U.S. Household Food Security Survey and a question on GPA to University of Dayton students, we looked to correlate the two variables to see if there was a relationship.
