Study finds disabled students face high rates of food insecurity

A new study from the University of New Hampshire reveals that college students with disabilities face disproportionately high rates of food insecurity. Published in the Disability and Health Journal , the study was led by nutrition scientist Grace Stott, with coauthors Amy Taetzsch, a clinical assistant professor in agriculture, nutrition, and food systems at UNH, and Jesse Stabile Morrell, principal lecturer and researcher at the New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station. The study purports to be the first to examine food security among college students with a disability.
