Using photography to explore people with diabetes' perspectives on food environments in urban and rural South Africa

Mark Spires et al.

Summary: The rise in diabetes globally, particularly in low- and middle-income countries like South Africa, has been linked to changes in diet towards more energy-dense processed foods with added sugar, salt, and fat. This study used participant-generated digital photographs and focus group discussions to explore how physical environments influence food acquisition behaviors and diet choices. The analysis identified accessibility, availability, and affordability as key factors impacting food environments.

Providing Measurement, Evaluation, Accountability, and Leadership Support (MEALS) for Non-communicable Diseases Prevention in Ghana: Project Implementation Protocol

Amos Laar et al.

Summary: This study outlines a project, MEALS4NCDs, aimed at addressing the rise in obesity and nutrition-related non-communicable diseases in Ghana. By adapting methods from INFORMAS and incorporating a community participatory approach, the project seeks to measure and support actions to create healthy food environments for Ghanaian children. It demonstrates the feasibility and innovative application of these methods in a lower-middle income setting, with potential for adaptation in similar country settings.

The African urban food environment framework for creating healthy nutrition policy and interventions in urban Africa

Hibbah Araba Osei-Kwasi et al.

Summary: This study developed and validated a framework of factors influencing dietary behaviours in urban African food environments, by drawing on concept mapping and a mixed-methods research approach. The final framework included 103 factors across individual, social, physical, and macro levels, providing a useful tool for understanding dietary transitions and intervention strategies in urban African adolescents and adults. Additionally, contextual factors that were not present in existing high-income country frameworks were identified, emphasizing the importance of adapting interventions to specific contexts in Africa.
