This week, Dani and I have started to find existing research related to intersections between health/wellness and class as well as issues of wellness on college campuses. We plan to use this existing research to supplement our interview findings. So far, I have not found any existing work addressing classed perceptions of health and wellness on college campuses. Though we will continue to search for this topic and related ones, we may also need to use general research focusing on isolated topics of health and wellness with class or health and wellness on college campuses. Additionally, we will continue looking for more specific literature focusing on nutrition on college campuses, which has been relatively more difficult to find.
So far, we have found 5 relevant articles.
- “‘Having come to university my care was very much in my hands’: exploration of university students’ perceptions of health care needs and services using the common-sense model of self-regulation” Rayna Rogowsky et al.
- “Contribution of food prices and diet cost to socioeconomic disparities in diet quality and health: a systematic review and analysis” Nicole Darmon and Adam Drewnowski
- “Understanding Socioeconomic Status and Adolescent Behavioral health—Time to Move Beyond Simplistic Measures and Cross-Sectional Data” Laura J. Chavez, Ph.D., M.P.H.
- “Beyond Health Care—Socioeconomic Status and Health” Lisa Berkman, Ph.D., and Arnold M. Epstein, M.D.
- “Be True to Our Schools—Models of Care in College Mental Health” Nancy Downs et al.
After reviewing this literature, we will need to assess whether any additional information/research is necessary and what that information may be. While exploring research, we will begin to formulate our interview questions and plan an interview agenda/outline.
