Abstract Objectives To develop a comprehensive questionnaire which assesses food security and knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAPs) regarding food access resources at a large public university. Methods A comprehensive food security and food resource questionnaire was developed by a panel of nutrition and survey design experts for use with university students. The questionnaire underwent two rounds of cognitive interviews with a diverse group of university students to ensure questions were understood as intended. Feedback from the first round of cognitive interviews was used to inform changes and improve clarity. The second round of cognitive interviews was used to clarify changes made to the questionnaire during the first round of interviews. Following the cognitive interviews, the questionnaire was reviewed by the panel of nutrition and survey design experts and finalized. Results Following a systematic approach, a comprehensive questionnaire was developed and finalized for use with university students. The initial questionnaire contained 40 questions. Following the first round of cognitive interviews (n = 15 students) 34 questions were revised, 7 questions were added and 1 question was removed. Following the second round of cognitive interviews (n = 10 students), Likert-scale questions were edited for simplicity, and question formatting was edited to emphasize differences in questions that were otherwise identical. Before distribution, 7 questions about food choice were added, food security screening questions were added, and skip-logic was incorporated into the questionnaire and tested. Conclusions The final questionnaire evaluates food resource KAPs and contains 68 items, including questions from the 10-item USDA Food Security Module, and newly developed questions regarding student food choice motivations, sugar-sweetened beverage consumption habits, knowledge/awareness of food access resources, perceptions of food access resources, current student concerns/stressors, and financial considerations. This newly developed questionnaire has been distributed to 10,000 University of California, Davis students. Future applications for this questionnaire include distribution at other universities and colleges within California. Funding Sources This project was funded by an internal University of California, Davis research grant.

Abstract Objectives To explore how food security (FS) and food resource management (FRM), strategies to stretch limited food resource dollars, are associated with child feeding practices in low-income preschoolers. Methods In a cross-sectional sample of 364 Head Start households, caregivers completed the 18-item FS module, 6-item FRM behavior subscale, Comprehensive Feeding Practices Questionnaire (e.g., monitoring, restriction, food as reward), and Perceived Stress scale. Households were categorized into four food environment subgroups: FS/good FRM, FS/poor FRM, food insecure/good FRM, and food insecure/poor FRM. Multivariable linear regressions were applied to examine if feeding practices differed across FS-FRM categories, adjusting for demographic and socio-economic covariates that differed significantly by FS-FRM subgroups (race, SNAP participation, parent BMI status). For all models, FS/good FRM was the referent. Lastly, we explored the effect of adding perceived stress to the model. on feeding practices. Results 37% of households were food insecure. The use of parent monitoring, modeling, involvement, and food as reward were significantly different by FS-FRM subgroups (all p-values <0.02). After adjusting for covariates, the FS/poor FRM group used less monitoring (–0.48, 95% CI: –0.71, –0.24), modeling (–0.42, 95CI: –0.66, –0.18), and involvement in feeding (–0.56, 95% CI: –0.80, –0.31). A similar pattern emerged for the food insecure/poor FRM group compared to referent. The use of food as reward was higher in the FS/poor FRM (0.29, 95CI: 0.03, 0.55), food insecure/good FRM (0.39, 95CI: 0.09, 0.70) and food insecure/poor FRM groups (0.33, 95% CI: 0.03, 0.64). These differences observed in feeding practices became insignificant in all but one food insecure subgroup once perceived stress was added to the model. Conclusions Suboptimal child feeding is evident in low-income caregivers with poor FRM skills with or without food insecurity. Promoting FRM skills in addition to addressing FI and stress could potentially synergistically improve child feeding practices in low-income households.
