How do children perceive and understand the experience of household food insecurity? A narrative review of the literature
Staff perceptions of support for early menarche in Australian primary schools: A qualitative study
The age of the onset of menstruation, termed menarche, has been declining for decades worldwide. Approximately 12% of Australian girls reach menarche between eight to 11 years of age. Current health and physical education subject guidelines from the Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority state that puberty education should be introduced to students between year levels five to six (ages 10–12) when many have already begun puberty…
Exploring Australian children’s perceptions of a school-provided lunch model using a story completion method
Children in Australia currently bring a packed lunch to school from home. Many children are not consuming a healthy diet at school. There is interest from key stakeholders (e.g. education and the non-government sector, food service and parents/caregivers) to transform the Australian system to a school-provided model to improve children’s diets, reduce parental burden and address food insecurity. To facilitate a successful transition to this syste…
The “who” and “why” of dumpster diving for food in wealthy industrialised countries – an international scoping review
Purpose Globally, around one-third of food produced is wasted and thrown into supermarket bins or dumpsters. As a result, these dumpsters have become opportunistic sources of food through dumpster diving. The authors' scoping review aimed to document the people that are dumpster diving and why these people engage in this potentially illegal practice. Design/methodology/approach A database search spanning 12 years yielded 29 articles for review. F…
The value of social eating at culturally and linguistically diverse lunch clubs: A descriptive study
The Emotional Wellbeing of Doctoral Students Conducting Qualitative Research with Vulnerable Populations
Qualitative studies have the potential to evoke emotional distress among participants, particularly where sensitive issues are explored. Consequently, novice qualitative researchers become well versed in strategies to minimise risk to participants. But what happens to the novice researcher when they are confronted with the emotional account of a participant? While research practices consistently serve to protect the wellbeing of participants, con…
How Do Disadvantaged Children Perceive, Understand and Experience Household Food Insecurity
Food insecurity is associated with reduced physical, social, and psychological functioning in children. There has been sparse research into child food insecurity that incorporates children's own perspectives, as adults are often interviewed as child proxies. While a nuanced, child-centred understanding of food insecurity is needed to inform effective policy and program responses, little is known about Australian children's firsthand understanding…

Co-Interviewing in Qualitative Social Research: Prospects, Merits and Considerations
In this paper, we seek to open a dialogue about the approach of co-interviewing, which, to our surprise, has not received much attention in the realm of qualitative social research. The co-interviewing approach stands apart from 'multiple' interviewing, in which two or more researchers are tasked with conducting interviews in a single research study. Instead, this approach involves two researchers actively taking part in the same interview. In a …

Australian children's discourses of health, nutrition and fatness
Prioritising Doctoral Students’ Wellbeing In Qualitative Research
As novice researchers, doctoral students undertaking qualitative research become well-versed in strategies that should be adopted to minimise risk to participants. But what happens when a researcher is confronted with the complex, emotional account of a participant? Despite the consistent emphasis on participant safety, many doctoral students are not explicitly prompted to consider how they will negotiate their own emotional wellbeing throughout …
Australian children's perceptions of discretionary foods
Sport and children's nutrition: What can we learn from the junior Australian football setting
There is a widely held belief that sport participation inherently enhances health among youth. Such a perception often motivates parents to encourage children's initial and ongoing involvement in organised sport and physical activity. While sport certainly comprises an important vehicle for accruing physical activity, the sport environment may not necessarily enhance other health-related behaviours, including dietary practices. The literature ide…
The Nuances of Health Literacy, Nutrition Literacy, and Food Literacy
Understanding Parental Health Literacy and Food Related Parenting Practices
Health literacy, which relates to the acquisition, understanding and application of health information, has become an increasingly important public health issue, particularly where parents and children are concerned. Given that the home setting comprises a strong influence on children’s diets, this qualitative study explored the concept of health literacy using parents’ experiences with health information seeking and food related parenting practi…
