Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
We will be using a qualitative visual ethnographic approach called ‘Photovoice’, whereby participants will take photographs to document, reflect upon, and communicate issues of concern, while stimulating social change. In the first focus group we will discuss perspectives on food and nutrition, including access to and use of traditional ingredients. Over the next two weeks, participants will be tasked with capturing photographs that tell stories through food. Then, during one-to-one interviews, participants will use the photos to discuss the role of food in their lives. Participants will choose one or two photographs to discuss in the second focus group to create discussion around culture, food choices, and challenges/barriers to accessing food.	—
