- Abstract
Basic needs insecurity, including insufficient or inadequate food, housing, and other personal necessities, is a common problem on college campuses, especially at community colleges ([1]; [3]), and an increasing number of higher education institutions are attempting to ameliorate this issue ([2]). Guided by what we learned from these interviews and prior literature, we employed linear regression (Model 1) to statistically predict MVP food purchases using two proxy measures for time spent on campus: students' attempted credit hours (Model A) and the number of classes taken (Model B). FINDINGS We found that 83% of students accessed their MVP debit card, and 98% of them used it at least once to purchase food in the campus cafeteria or café.
