Description:
This Learning Lab will provide a practical introduction to the use of two innovative ICTs for the assessment of time use and dietary practices in low-income rural contexts: image-assisted recall (IAR) via automated wearable cameras and interactive voice response (IVR) surveys via mobile phones. The tools are currently being validated with women in northern Uganda under an IMMANA project, following a feasibility study in Eastern Uganda. IAR is additionally being validated for the assessment of handwashing practices. The session will include a brief introduction to time use, dietary and handwashing practices assessment; presentation of protocols for the ICTs; a practical session designing a research protocol for using the ICTs; hands-on application of the technologies in the lab setting; sharing learning from the IMMANA project; discussion on how the technologies could be applied in different contexts, including logistical and ethical considerations.
