Using photo-elicitation to explore the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on food decisions of low-income families in Northern Ireland

Understanding the nutritional challenges of low-income families became urgent, even though public health restrictions inhibited face-to-face research. Photovoice, whereby participants use cameras to document their surroundings(4), has been employed in pre-pandemic public health research to understand individuals’ nutritional considerations and habits(5,6). Five distinct themes emerged from the photo-elicited discussions which addressed various stages of the food-related decision-making process: 1) planning, 2) shopping, 3) preparing, 4) eating at home and 5) eating outside the home;and the impact of lockdown on each of them.
