METHODS: Forty-two children from 28 families from across Brisbane (Australia) participated in qualitative creative draw-and-tell interviews and 20 of these children (from 15 families) also completed Photovoice data collection. Data were abductively analysed through a social practice theory lens.
RESULTS: Children reported engaging in food planning, acquisition, preparation, consumption and tidy-up practices, to varying degrees of \'less involved\', \'in partnership with adults or other children\' or \'independently\'. This was influenced largely by the willingness of adults to relinquish control and children\'s desire to participate, as well as other contextual factors. Children were more independent in consumption practices, as well as packing lunchboxes and preparing food spaces (as preparation practices). Partnerships were established more so within food acquisition and preparation practices, with less involvement described within planning and tidy-up practices.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings add new knowledge and depth and breadth to that already obtained from parents, teachers and adult researchers, highlighting the importance of privileging children\'s voices when investigating their food experiences. This work may be used to guide adults to invite and support children to be involved in food practices that they report being less involved in, as well as inform how best to work with and include children in future research and food and nutrition strategies and policies.
方法:来自布里斯班(澳大利亚)的28个家庭的42名儿童参加了定性的创造性采访,其中20名儿童(来自15个家庭)也完成了Photovoice数据收集。通过社会实践理论视角对数据进行了归纳分析。
结果:儿童报告参与食物计划,收购,准备,消费和整理习惯,不同程度的“较少涉及”,\'与成人或其他儿童合作\'或\'独立\'。这在很大程度上受到成年人放弃控制的意愿和儿童参与的愿望的影响,以及其他背景因素。儿童在消费实践中更加独立,以及包装午餐盒和准备食物空间(作为准备实践)。在粮食采购和准备实践中建立了更多的伙伴关系,在规划和整理实践中描述的参与较少。
结论:这些发现为已经从父母那里获得的知识和深度和广度增加了新的知识,教师和成人研究人员,强调在调查儿童的食物体验时赋予儿童声音特权的重要性。这项工作可用于指导成年人邀请和支持儿童参与他们报告较少参与的食品实践,以及告知如何最好地与儿童合作并将其纳入未来的研究以及食品和营养战略和政策。
