Kicklighter et al present a study, which provides a framework for designing nutrition education that appeals to college freshmen attending an ethnically diverse urban Georgia State University. They found that students had positive perceptions regarding a nutrition module, perhaps due to the graduate students who led the learning experience and served as positive role models. The module also emphasized major factors that influence college students' eating habits, it was creative and interactive, and it incorporated the use of graphics and technology.

The business of feeding the nation's children is rapidly evolving as school nutritionists from kindergarten to college work to provide better meals to students while maintaining a healthy bottom line. But some advocates argue the nation's growing obesity problem is proof schools should focus more on teaching proper eating habits and less on making money with their lunch programs.

The lack of proper nutrition and physical activity can lead to increased weight gain and development of chronic diseases. Studies show a nationwide trend in the number of college aged individuals being classified as overweight according to BMI calculations. College is a time of transition from adolescence to adulthood where habits that began in childhood grow or cease to exist and new habits are formed. One habit tied to weight and development of chronic diseases is proper nutrition. The purpose of this research is to explore the eating patterns of college students attending a small, private historically black college and university (HBCU). A non-invasive food selection and preference assessment instrument was administered to 141 students. Chi-square analysis was done to compare the dif...

The freedom to eat pretty much whatever they want -- and whenever they want -- can prove a bit too tempting for first-year college students for whom the phrase "Freshman Fifteen" was coined. But those extra pounds and poor eating choices that can accompany a student's newfound freedom can be avoided, according to dietitians who say there's no better time than college to develop healthy eating habits for life.

This qualitative study, based on a series of 30 in-depth interviews and 109 economic surveys conducted with active heroin users residing in and around Detroit, Michigan, describes reported patterns of heroin use and income generation activities. In spite of lack of access to regular, legal employment, we found that many participants displayed a dedication to regular daily routine and a sense of risk management or control. These findings are discussed relative to past research on heroin addiction as well as recent research on the changing nature of employment. We argue that this sample fits somewhere in between the controlled or working addict, and the "junkie" or "righteous dope fiend" of urban lore. We draw a connection between these stable patterns of addiction and income generation a...

Short Shuteye: Poor sleep hygiene in college is a major culprit. A recent survey at Stanford University found that 80 percent of students were sleep-deprived. Lack of sleep can deregulate the body's systems and precipitate depression in those with no prior history of it, and even trigger manic episodes. Sleep deprivation can also adversely affect one's ability to learn. Studies show that sleeping eight hours actually improves learning ability, memory retention and test scores. The Freshman 15: Aside from gaining weight on a diet of pizza and Burger King, students' notoriously bad eating habits can lead to a decline in cognitive functioning. A recent study from the Center for Aging at the Medical University of South Carolina found that trans fats (found in junk food) could lead to impair...

The aim of this study was to examine the relationships between depression, anxiety and stress with disordered eating among university students. The Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26) and Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) were administered on 584 Malaysian university students (59.4% females and 40.6% males). About one in five participants (18.2%) were at risk of eating disorders. Females had significantly higher proportion of at risk of eating disorders (21.3%) compared to males (13.5%). There was no sex difference in mean EAT-26 scores. The prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress of moderate severity or above were 29.3%, 55.0% and 21.6% respectively. No sex differences in depression and anxiety scores were found but females had significantly higher stress score compa...

Eating junk food, gossiping, avoiding exercise and being late are just a few bad habits Patrick Feeney's introduction to sociology classes listed during discussions earlier this month. Mr. Feeney, who holds a doctorate in sociology, tells his students at Montgomery College in Rockville that what is considered a bad habit varies across cultures and over time. For example, drinking coffee is considered a bad habit in some African countries but not in the United States. Smoking was a sign of status 100 years ago but now is considered almost a syndrome, he says. These are social constructions," Mr. Feeney says.
