Participatory photography (photovoice) to explore food environments in Ghana: interview transcripts
DataSuds
2020
The aim of this study was to identify social and physical factors that influence food choices in women and adolescent girls living in urban Ghana. In 2017, a qualitative study was conducted amongst women and adolescent girls aged 13-49 years living in socio-economically deprived urban neighbourhoods in Accra (n=32) and Ho (n=32). Participants used photography to identify characteristics in their social and physical environment that drive their dietary behaviours. Specifically, participants were asked to take five photographs in relation to the following themes: i. a place where you eat food and/or drink; ii. something that makes eating healthy difficult for you; iii. something that makes eating healthy easy for you; iv. something that influences what you eat in your area/neighbourhood; v. a person that influences your food or drink choices in your area/neighbourhood. Follow-up interviews focused on participants telling the ‘stories’ of their photographs. Data are provided for transcripts without photographs subject to several conditions. Data available: 64 qualitative interviews transcripts (about 10 pages each), anonymized manually after collection: transmitted upon agreement and regulatory compliance, refer to "Terms of Use" statement; documentation: interview guide and informed consent form.
