Basic Needs and Student Success Survey (Pilot 2)

Food insecurity among college students is a serious problem that can impact student performance in the classroom and ultimately effect student success. The Center for Healthy Communities (CHC) developed the Basic Needs Student Success Survey (BNS3) and administered it to undergraduate students participating in the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) at three California State Universities between November 2020 and March 2021. 

The purpose of this second cross-sectional pilot study was to revise the BNS3 tool and validate student perception of the following:

1. The impact of receiving CalFresh assistance.
2. The impact of utilization of the campus food pantry on their health, nutrition, cooking confidence, time management and academic performance.
