Abstract
Transformative public health must move from its historically overly Eurocentric and professionally driven orientation towards local-contextualised, community-based health, empowerment and codesign of health research. Like many Pacific nations, Malawi is experiencing changes in its food systems which has health implications for Malawi people. This study sought to democratise and ‘open up’ the exploration of family eating through a photovoice collaboration with Malawian families with a view to understanding the links to a newly emerging and serious public health problem—that of diabetes.Description
