Photo Project
Overview
The aim of this component of the Flint Leverage Points Project (FLPP) is to understand how Flint residents navigate the current food system and learn from residents what barriers they encounter when attempting to access healthy food. In addition, we asked residents to explain how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted their food choices and access.
This qualitative data helps inform other data collection efforts and model building activities in the FLPP. While the photo project is not designed to be representative of the entire population of Flint, we do see common themes that help us understand how people navigate the food system and why they make the food choices they do for their households.

About this Data
Data for this project include photos that Flint residents took and shared to show the research team how they navigate the food system, and what participants felt was most important for researchers to know about the food system. Participants also captioned the photographs and participated in a semi-structured interview about food in Flint.
