Hussain, Rafat, et al. “Physical and Mental Health Perspectives of First Year Undergraduate Rural University Students.” BMC Public Health, vol. 13, no. 1, Oct. 2013, pp. 1–11. EBSCOhost, doi:10.1186/1471-2458-13-848.

This cited source is an Article based source, I would believe to think this is a scholarly article. The author begins to talk about how there is evidence that shows a good amount of people experience poor physical health. The study was focused on mental and physical health of first year university students of 355 students, 244 females and 111 males.

With the author talking about this study that was performed and showing the results, makes this source a good reliable source of information. Dr Rafat Hussain is a public health physician with qualifications in medicine, public health, and epidemiology. Once I read her website, her qualifications and experience do apply to this topic I’m focusing on. This source helps identify all of the evidence of the study that was done and shows how many people deal with physical and mental health.

Malan, Hannah, et al. “Challenges, Opportunities, and Motivators for Developing and Applying Food Literacy in a University Setting: A Qualitative Study.” Journal of the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics, vol. 120, no. 1, Jan. 2020, pp. 33–44. EBSCOhost, doi:10.1016/j.jand.2019.06.003.

This source is defined as an article, it could be considered a popular and a scholarly article. The article begins to talk about complex food environments could require a new set of skills and mindsets to maintain a healthy diet plan. Food literacy among college students is not well understood, although this study focused more on a range of challenges for college students to apply those skills in the university environment. There were 11 focus groups with 4 students each.

Being able to fully understand what this study was about and the outcome of it all is what makes me believe this is such a reliable source. Hannah Malan is PhD Candidate and graduate student researcher studying intervention strategies promoting healthy, sustainable food in institutional settings. She explores the effectiveness of using environmental sustainability, climate change, and more !! Looking at her Blog and blog posts she seems to be a very bright lady, her information posted is very informing.

What are some things that us college students can do to make sure we stay on top of things ?

How can we hold ourselves accountable ?
