“…Vignette 1: Identity convergence. In July 2011, I was working on a research team using interviews and photovoice to explore unemployment (Dougherty, Schraedley, Gist-Mackey, & Wickert, 2018). I rescheduled an interview twice with Tina, a 53-year-old African American woman who formerly worked as cleaning staff due to Tina's transportation issues.…”

“…As a methodology, photovoice has been used extensively in research to explore wellbeing and enabled participants to identify activities and places that enhanced their wellbeing [ 44 ]. It has also been used in studies on unemployment and food insecurity [ 45 ], and as a useful tool to engage with disadvantaged groups [ 46 ]. The technique has been shown to act as a catalyst, bringing impacts ranging from an increased sense of accomplishment to a deeper understanding of the reality of participants’ daily lives [ 46 ].…”

Evaluation of a health-related intervention to reduce overweight, obesity and increase employment in France and the United Kingdom: a mixed-methods realist evaluation protocol

2021

Background Obesity, overweight and unemployment are interlinked, with debilitating effects on mortality, health, wellbeing and quality of life. Existing interventions to reduce overweight, obesity and unemployment have addressed these challenges independent of each other with limited success. The Adding to Social capital and individual Potential In disadvantaged REgions (ASPIRE) project will develop an innovative model using a combination of skills training and health and wellbeing interventions to improve health, wellbeing, quality of life and reduce overweight, obesity and unemployment in England and France. The aim of this paper is to outline the protocol for evaluating the ASPIRE project to examine the effectiveness of the intervention and clarify the mechanisms and contextual factors which interact to achieve outcomes. Methods A mixed-method realist evaluation using a single-group before-and-after design will be used. The evaluation will consist of development of an initial programme theory, theory validation and refinement using quantitative and qualitative data to understand the causal mechanisms, contexts of implementation and their interactions that result in outcomes observed in ASPIRE. Primary outcomes that will be assessed are change in body weight and body mass index, reemployment and a rise on the ASPIRE participation ladder. The ASPIRE participation ladders consists of a series of 5 steps to engage participants in the project. The first step on the ladder is joining an ASPIRE hub with paid employment as the final step on the ladder. Secondary outcomes will be physical activity, diet quality, self-efficacy and health-related quality of life. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches are appropriate in this study because the use of validated questionnaires and objective measures will demonstrate how much the intervention addressed outcomes related to weight loss and reemployment and the qualitative data (photovoice) will provide insights into the contexts and experiences that are unique to participants in the project. Discussion The results from this evaluation will provide an understanding of how a model of health-related interventions which improve health, wellbeing and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle could reduce overweight, obesity and unemployment. The findings will enable the adaptation of this model for effective implementation in different contexts and circumstances.

“…As Dutta argues above, 'the struggle against food insecurity is both material and communicative.' Recent rich examples of research include: (Dougherty, 2011;Dougherty et al, 2018;Dutta & Thaker, 2019;Gordon & Hunt, 2018;LeGreco & Douglas, 2017). To this, Dutta emphasizes how the 'ownership of communicative resources is a site of struggle,' and (with Dutta & Thaker, 2019) develops the concept of communicative sovereignty in their study of dalit women farmers.…”

This forum brings together food, (in)security, and communication. The authors participating in this forum center communication as both process and tool for understanding, mitigating, and making meaning of food (in)security. The nine authors together discuss the role of communication in food (in)security, the central challenges for scholars and practitioners working on food (in)security, and the creative possibilities and impacts influencing the future of food (in)security. The forum produces a call for applied scholars to re-imagine communication frameworks in order to make meaningful differences in their communities.
