Abstract:
The objective of this report was to demonstrate the use of discourse analysis as a qualitative nutrition research analysis tool based on a case study of food-insecure parents. The US Department of Agriculture 18-item Household Food Security Module served as a framework for cognitive interviews. Data were analyzed using a basic inductive technique and then reanalyzed using discourse analysis. Discourse analysis tools including position design and identity building, I and we statements, collocational patterns, and the figured world tool unveiled findings otherwise not detected using basic inductive techniques. Discourse analysis and corresponding tools can contribute to qualitative nutrition research, particularly in inductive thesis-generating work.
