About the Webinar
This study explores the feasibility of using an image-based food photography methodology in a rural, low-resource audience. Photos were examined to understand the context of family dinners with young children. They yielded a holistic picture of family dinnertime, including meal timing, location, concordance in parent-child meals, level of preparation, and meal quality.
