The primary goal of this study was to assess the prevalence of food addiction and to determine risk factors for food addiction among college students. Data was collected at Florida State University (FSU) via a self-monitored survey modified from the Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0. The correlations between food addiction and body mass index (BMI), academic year, living situations, the presence of a meal plan, and a history of dieting were analyzed. The results of the study showed that 18.7% of college students have food addiction, and that obese students as well as students that have a history of dieting are more likely to have food addiction than their peers.
