Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted of 25,912 students aged 11-15years from 436 Canadian schools. Analyses were descriptive and also involved hierarchical logistic regression models. Results: Hunger was reported by 25% of participants, with 4% reporting this experience "often” or "always”. Its prevalence was associated with socio-economic disadvantage and family-related factors, but not with whether or not a student had access to school-based food and nutrition programs. The consistency of hunger's associations with the health outcomes was remarkable. Relations between hunger and health were partially explained when models controlled for family practices, but not the socio-economic or school measures. Conclusions: Societal responses to hunger certainly require the provision of food, but may also consider family contexts and basic essential elements of care that children need to thrive.
