Results of the logistic generalized estimating equation (GEE) determining if food insecurity at the end of the semester is associated with number of meals used ^A.

Meal Plan	Number of Students	Number of Data Points	Food Insecure at End of the Semester
			Including Weekends			Excluding Weekends
			OR	95% CI	p. Value	OR	95% CI	p. Value
8 meals/week	175	252	0.9	(0.8, 1.1)	0.476	0.9	(0.7, 1.1)	0.343
180 meals/semester B	145	179	0.9	(0.8, 1.0)	0.011	0.8	(0.7, 0.9)	0.004
14 meals/week	184	246	0.9	(0.8, 1.0)	0.150	0.9	(0.7, 1.0)	0.081
Unlimited meals	86	117	1.0	(0.9, 1.1)	0.895	1.0	(0.8, 1.1)	0.612

Bold indicates statistical significance (p < 0.05). A control for food security status at start of semester, sex, race/ethnicity, Pell Grant status, first-generation status, campus, semester, week survey was completed, and a clustering effect by student were included in the models. ^A Number of meals used is determined by the number of meals used in the 28 days prior to survey completion at the end of the semester and divided by four to obtain an average number of meals per week at the end of the semester. ^B 180 meals/semester equates to approximately 11 meals per week with consistent use.
