| الوصف: | Four main NCDs identified in India (cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), cancers, chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) and diabetes) are closely related to behavioural risk factors - unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, and use of tobacco and alcohol (1) . South India (Tamil Nadu state) where the research was conducted faces challenges like the rich-poor gap in access to health, the persistence of high levels of malnutrition, anaemia, and the ever-increasing expectation and demands for public health services from the public (2) . Variation and inequality in nutrient intake showed a declining trend (3) due to factors such as expenditure on food, household size, and literacy and poverty especially in rural area (4) . There is need to determine the food insecurity situation comprehensively in India and plan appropriate policy actions to address it effectively, to attain the key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (5) . This pilot study investigated food insecurity and related health behaviours in a rural village in Tamil Nadu. Additionally, collaborative learning (peer learning) was implemented, as both UK and local Indian students conducted this research - UK students travelled to India using the Turing Funding Scheme. This is qualitative research, whereby researchers from two universities (UK and India) obtained perspectives of the rural communities. Data was collected in two stages: observation of health behaviours (for each family on three different days in a week), where pictures were taken with permission, and followed by face-to-face interviews (with 6 heads of households). A total of three male and three female adults (aged between 28–68 years old, all married and living in an intergenerational family setting) were interviewed for approximately 30-40 minutes and analysed thematically using the Braun & Clarke approach (6) . Consensus coding was used to determine invariant constituents, while reliability and validity were achieved through intercoder agreement, audio recording, triangulation, and member ... |
