“…These philosophies influence, implicitly or explicitly, how researchers think of methods, data and the research process. For example, some of the criticisms directed at the interview as a tool to inspect individual experiences and views that we mentioned earlier are informed by certain versions of constructionism [ 37 , 38 ], a set of related philosophical standpoints generally arguing that any apparent reality is the object of selection and construction processes [ 105 ]. Constructionism also questions the notion of generalizability [ 96 ].…”

“…Some authors advert that interviews may be seen as an unproblematic vehicle to individual views and experiences, which neglects their constitutive and performative dimension, thus potentially celebrating cultural features of a society where interviewing is pervasive [28,29,35]. Such criticisms have generated debates about the purposes and value of interviewing and interview data [30,[35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42]. Nevertheless, interviews are still frequently used in ways compatible with the understanding described earlier.…”

Objective: Using different perspectives and methods to investigate the links between the urban phenomenon and health is critical in an urbanizing world. This review discusses qualitative methods in the context of urban health research.Methods: We conducted a narrative review following these steps: We identified the qualitative data collection, analysis and sampling methods that could be more relevant for the problems researched in the urban health field. We conducted searches for methodological articles and other documents about those methods. We included some influential materials and examples of empirical urban health studies using those methods.Results: We included 88 studies and identified several qualitative data gathering, analysis and sampling methods relevant for urban health researchers. We present those methods, focusing their strengths and limitations, and providing examples of their use in the field of urban health. These methods are flexible and allow in-depth analysis of small samples by collecting and analyzing rich and nuanced data.Conclusion: This article should contribute to a better understanding of how, and when, qualitative methods may improve our knowledge on urban health.

“…It adopted an ontologically realist approach to food poverty, while recognising the ways in which the study focuses and the interactive context of the interview influenced young people's frames of reference. This is not to say that the social phenomena to which young people's responses referred did not exist independently of their accounts [43].…”

This paper examines the orientations to the future of young people living in low-income families in the U.K. and Portugal following the 2008 Global Financial Crisis and the contexts in which they are socially reproduced. It is based on data from comparative research on families and food poverty, funded by the European Research Council. The study focused on parents and young people aged 11–16 living in low-income families in three European countries (the U.K., Portugal and Norway); only the U.K. and Portuguese data were analysed here. Given the study was concerned with the consequences of low income for food insecurity, we primarily sought to understand how young people manage in the present; however, the project also affords a theoretical and methodological opportunity to explore young people’s thoughts about the future as they begin to transition to adulthood. We found that, when asked about the future, young people responded in different ways: some said they did not think about the future; others mentioned their dreams, but considered them unrealisable. while others expressed hopes that were more concrete and achievable. Precarity constrained the control that young people and their families exercised over their lives. We argue that young people’s aspirations and time horizons are framed in relation to the present and the temporalities of the life course, the public discourses to which they are subjected and the limited access of their families to resources provided by the labour market and the state.
