“…This current study was part of a larger qualitative study conducted in Chile that intended to increase our understanding of the “food world” of Chilean women from low SES groups by exploring factors related to eating behaviors and food-making decision processes [30,37]. In that study, we found seven factors were the drivers of women’s food decisions: family, individual preferences, temporality, perceptions about food, financial issues, special moments, and food availability [30].…”

Women from low socioeconomic backgrounds are more affected by obesity than men. The influence of weight as a determinant of women’s eating behaviors has seldom been studied, especially in Latin America. In this study, we analyzed the food choices of vulnerable women according to their weight status. We conducted photo-elicitation interviews with 31 women from low-income neighborhoods in Santiago, Chile. Weight and height were measured and participants were divided into normal weight (n = 9), overweight (n = 15), and obese groups (n = 7) according to World Health Organization (WHO) body mass index (BMI) categories (p < 0.001). Quantitative and qualitative approaches were used for the analysis. Women in overweight and obese groups described more about their families, temporality, financial issues, and food perception. When weight groups were analyzed separately, more factors explaining eating behaviors were found (mental and physical health, body dissatisfaction, gender role, and obstacles for eating healthy) in the obese group. Results suggest that women with obesity or overweight based their diets on more internal and external factors than did normal weight women. This study contributes to our understanding of why changing behaviors can be difficult in women with obesity. Health care providers should consider these factors in the implementation of programs to address the need for a healthy diet for overweight and obese women.

“…The interviewer asked follow-up questions to clarify points from the participants’ narrative. A complete detail of the methods can be found elsewhere [37]. Data saturation was reached in interview number 22 for the whole group, which meant that no new topics subsequently appeared in women´s discourses [43].…”

“…Posteriormente, se llevaron a cabo entrevistas con foto-elicitación. Esta técnica se define como la incorporación de fotografías en entrevistas, como el estímulo que permite la expresión de los participantes 29 y ha sido aplicada anteriormente en población similar a la del presente estudio 30 además de en otras investigaciones realizadas en el laboratorio donde fue formulado este estudio 31 , 32 . Se seleccionó la metodología de entrevista individual para poder evitar cualquier juicio social de pares 33 , 34 respecto a la alimentación del hijo/a 35 , 36 , y con esto lograr que los participantes puedan expresarse libremente, sin temor a ser criticados.…”

Objetivo Explorar las influencias de integrantes del grupo familiar en las prácticas de alimentación de madres hacia preescolares, en familias de barrios vulnerables en la Región Metropolitana de Santiago, Chile. Diseño Estudio cualitativo. Lugar Nueve jardines infantiles de la Región Metropolitana, Santiago, Chile. Participantes Veinticuatro madres y un padre de hijos preescolares. Método Se realizaron 25 entrevistas semiestructuradas con técnica de foto-elicitación y su posterior análisis temático inductivo de las influencias familiares. Resultados Las participantes describieron que las influencias familiares sobre las prácticas de alimentación que aplicaban en sus hijos preescolares dependían de la estructura familiar y de la cercanía entre familiares. Algunas de estas influencias afectan directamente la conducta alimentaria del niño, especialmente en familiares que cohabitan juntos, mientras que otras estaban mediadas por las relaciones generadas entre padres y otros miembros de la familia. El padre, en familias biparentales, y abuelos del preescolar son los familiares más influyentes. Los padres participan en la alimentación del niño y generalmente se alinean a las prácticas de alimentación con la madre. Los abuelos enriquecen la experiencia alimentaria de preescolares ofreciendo preparaciones caseras, expresando afecto con los alimentos, incluso opciones poco saludables, y apoyando a padres a diversificar y estructurar la alimentación del niño. Conclusiones El impacto de familiares y sus dinámicas en las prácticas alimentarias parentales y la alimentación de preescolares varían según la cercanía o cohabitación entre familiares. El desarrollo de estrategias de prevención y tratamiento de obesidad infantil debería considerar un enfoque familiar en familias vulnerables.

“…In their study of memory, the body and identity amongst women, Weber and Mitchell (2004) used participants' chosen dresses as elicitation devices, and found that memories evoked by personal clothing "provide useful scaffolding for structuring a person's life history or memoir, and actual clothing items (as well as photographs of clothes) serve as excellent memory prompts" (Weber and Mitchell, 2004: 256). Through the use of visual prompts in the form of photographs taken by research participants, Edmondson et al (2018) and Patricia et al (2017) have explored how subjects that may be difficult to discuss (self-harm and eating disorders respectively) are experienced and thought about by people who engage in these behaviours. Music, however, remains a much under-used elicitation device within the social sciences (dos Santos and Wagner, 2018: 2).…”

In Colombia, five decades of violent conflict have displaced millions of people, many of whom now face severe risks from flooding, landslides and other environmental hazards in the places they have found to resettle. In our research, one of our main objectives was to better understand the experiences, vulnerabilities and survival strategies of conflict-displaced people living in hazard-prone locations in Soacha, an urban working-class district of Cundinamarca in the centre of Colombia, and in urban and peri-urban areas in or near Pereira and Manizales, both of which are cities in Colombia's main coffee-growing region. We wanted to create spaces within which such people could tell their life stories with dignity and agency.For socially and politically marginalised people who have suffered enormous loss and trauma, and the disempowering effects of violence, conventional social science interviews may reopen wounds and cause extreme distress. Furthermore, interviewees may feel that there are 'good', 'bad' or otherwise 'preferred' answers to the questions they are asked. In our research, we instead invited participants to share a piece of music or a song they valued with us, via mp3 players, before opening a conversation about their life stories. In this way, we intended for participants to 'territorialise' the research encounter by creating comfortable spaces where their taste and habits were central (Dos Santos and Wagner, 2018), and where they exercised greater control and agency to decide the topics discussed (Levell, 2019). We wanted the songs people shared with us to act as their chosen entry points into their life stories. This article offers some reflections on how talking about music, a cultural form linked closely with emotions, memory and identity, can provide a resource for better understanding the lives and experiences of others.
