Description

The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of dietary habits and stress levels among college students. We hypothesize that implementing healthier dietary habits will lead to less stress among college students. An anonymous online survey was administered through social media on platforms such as GroupMe, Instagram, iMessage, Reddit, and Facebook. The survey included basic demographic questions including types of food consumed, alcohol and drug use, physical activity, and mental health status such as anxiety, depression, stress, and motivation. Pearson’s Correlation Analysis was utilized using SPSS version 28.0. Results showed a association between dietary choices, alcohol consumption, and stress levels. The ultimate goal of this study was to determine if diet choice and alcohol consumption were contributing factors to the stress levels among college students. Future interventions are needed for improving college students' dietary habits and overall health and well-being.
