This study was designed to examine the associations between food skills, resilience, and coping during the Covid-19 pandemic. Between April and June of 2020, a sample of 154 students, faculty, and staff from Arizona State University were surveyed. Each respondent was administered a survey containing demographic questions, a food skill questionnaire, and the 14-item Resilience Scale (RS). Results indicate that food skill was correlated with resilience (p<0.001) at an r=0.364 and r2=0.1243 and that resilience was correlated with coping during the Covid-19 pandemic (p<0.001) at an r=0.455. Correlations were also run between resilience score and the separate domains of food skill score: all domains remained significantly associated with resilience score (p<0.001) with a r=0.340 and r2=0.1173 for ‘Food Selection and Planning,’ r=0.312 and r2=0.0958 for ‘Food Preparation,’ and r=0.294 and r2=0.0767 for ‘Food Safety.’ Data seems to be consistent with contemporary research suggesting positive associations between diet quality and physiological resilience and positive associations between resilience and coping during the Covid-19 pandemic.

With the use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM), there have been many breakthroughs with aid in assisting Scandinavian populations who are affected by autoimmune diseases. What has been found is CAM has been used since the eighteen hundreds to heal or even control the Scandinavian populations health problems.5 With the use of botanical, mineral, and chemical therapies, the Scandinavian population has used these methods to create a starting block for their pathway to many different CAM therapies.5 Autoimmune diseases can be brought upon any person with little warning and are currently affecting over 23.5 million Americans.2 Researchers are still looking into how autoimmune disease are sneaking up on individuals and what can be done to help maintain or fix the state of the individual. If someone is known to have an autoimmune disease, it is vital they see a physician who specializes in these diseases to properly follow a treatment plan.
