The presence of obesity and type 2 diabetes related to diet has been a growing concern despite efforts to produce relatively easy-to-follow nutrition education resources. College students are one of the most vulnerable populations to the metabolic syndrome pandemic with little research pertaining specifically to them and the effectiveness of current nutrition education resources. The purpose of the study is to assess the level of general nutrition knowledge of students at La Salle and analyze the relationship to healthy eating behaviors while making recommendations based on this evaluation. A 15- question survey was distributed to students attending La Salle University and enrolled in Research Methods (PHLT 408) and Statistics Methods (HSC 216) via an email from Meredith E. Kneavel, PhD, Associate Dean, School of Nursing and Health Sciences, on March 16, 2021. Data was collected until March 26, 2021. The average overall score on the survey was 56.2 out of 84 possible points. Low levels of nutrition knowledge may play a role in the self-regulation of eating behavior and the making of food choices matching a healthy eating pattern. Traditional methods of communicating NUTR 165 information may be remodeled.
