Applying photovoice and human-centered design to contextualize an adolescent micronutrient supplementation intervention in Mozambique
Photovoice provided rich visual data about the lived experiences of adolescent girls in a fragile and resource-constrained context, without the influence of an external researcher interpreting everyday realities, and elicited valuable insights into the barriers, opportunities, and potential improvements in nutrition programming. Integrating photovoice and ACD into program design can increase program acceptability and potential for effectiveness. This research also highlights the need to prioritize adolescent engagement and underscores the inadequacy of one-size-fits-all approaches, such as school-based supplementation programs.
