Abstract:
Background: Food security (FS) is a substantial right of human beings and should be addressed in all groups of the society. This study aims to investigate the prevalence and predictors of food insecurity (FI) among university lecturers in Nangarhar province. Methods: ۲۸۷ university lecturers were selected from public and private universities through stratified random sampling technique. FS was assessed over the past ۳۰ days and through the ۱۰-item short US FS survey module. Data were collected by a well-structured questionnaire in face to face interviews. Results: Results revealed that ۵۵.۰۵% of university lecturers suffered from FI with a higher prevalence among private university lecturers (P = ۰.۰۰۱). Moreover, FI was significantly associated with ethnicity (P = ۰.۰۴), education level (P = ۰.۰۱), academic position (P = ۰.۰۰۱), monthly income (P = ۰.۰۱), and having another job besides being a lecturer (P = ۰.۰۰۱). Furthermore, lecturers between ۳۶-۴۰ year (OR = ۰.۰۴۳, CI = ۰.۰۰۶-۰.۲۹۲, P = ۰.۰۰۱) with a bachelor's degree (OR = ۰.۱۳۰, CI = ۰.۰۳۳-۰.۵۱۸, P = ۰.۰۰۴) had the lowest odds, and those with senior teaching assistant position (OR = ۹.۳۵۰, CI = ۳.۳۷۱-۲۵.۹۳۲, P < ۰.۰۰۱), and monthly income of less than ۳۵۰ US dollar (OR = ۱۶۲.۷۰, CI = ۹.۳۱۵-۲۸۴۱.۹۲, P < ۰.۰۰۱), had greater odds of FI. Conclusion: FI is prevalent among university lecturers. Therefore, prompt interventions should be conducted by relevant departments to minimize the risk of FI among the lecturers.
