Prevalence and Predictors of Food Insecurity Among Medical Students During Clinical Training: A Cross-Sectional Study

Food insecurity appears to be more prevalent among medical students than in the general population, underscoring an important yet underrecognized challenge during clinical training. Institutional differences in food insecurity suggest that campus-specific or environmental factors may contribute to disparities in access, while the lack of significance for financial aid in adjusted analyses indicates the influence of additional structural barriers. These findings highlight the need for targeted, institution-specific support strategies and further research to develop effective interventions that improve food access and promote medical student well-being.
