by A4NH | October 27, 2020

What drives food choice among those making these choices for themselves for the first time? This issue brief profiles findings from an innovative new study by researchers from Wageningen University & Research, Addis Ababa University, and Institut de Recherche pour Développment, in which adolescents from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, were invited to share their thoughts on food choice via photographs and words.

The brief, titled "Urban food environments through the lens of adolescents in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia," is based on their paper, "Assessing factors influencing adolescents' dietary behaviours in urban Ethiopia using participatory photography," published in Public Health Nutrition in June 2020.
