Abstract
: Examine the impact of the campus food environment on postsecondary students' dietary behaviors (e.g., dietary intake) and food purchasing. Participants: Students currently attending a postsecondary institution, all ages and geographic locations included. : A systematic search from January 2000-October 2022 was conducted in six databases using postsecondary education, food environment, and diet related keywords. : In total, 25 quantitative and 10 qualitative studies were extracted. All quantitative studies that conducted statistical analyses ( = 15) reported a statistically significant relationship between the campus food environment and dietary intake, including both positive and negative effects. All qualitative studies ( = 10) discussed students' experience of the campus food environment influencing their diet. : This review found moderate evidence that the campus food environment has an impact on postsecondary students' dietary behaviors. A campus environment that has healthy foods accessible, affordable, and acceptable for postsecondary students may have a beneficial impact on students' dietary intake.
