We chose to focus on where research used material practices because they are routine in many kinds of project, are well suited to work in LMICs given their inclusiveness and capacity to reach marginalised groups (Duara et al, 2018 ), engage people irrespective of education and language, can be inexpensive and integrate local traditions (Boon & Plastow, 2004 ).…”
