饮食和食物选择显着影响牙齿，包括牙釉质质量和龋齿的发展。然而，针对患有和不患有自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 的拉丁裔儿童的饮食及其与口腔护理的关系的研究很少得到关注。这项定性研究使用包容性视觉方法来探索拉丁裔护理人员对孩子的饮食偏好和与口腔健康相关的食物习惯的了解。作为次要目标，该研究试图探讨患有和不患有自闭症谱系障碍的拉丁裔儿童在饮食方面是否存在显着差异。参与者是来自 18 个有或没有自闭症儿童的家庭的 32 名拉丁裔护理人员（n = 8 个正常发育的孩子，n = 10 个患有 ASD 的孩子），他们完成了食品日记活动和照片启发采访。访谈按主题编码，主题涉及父母对孩子饮食和口腔健康的看法。这项研究的结果表明，拍照的过程有助于拉丁裔护理人员在与儿童整体口腔健康相关的背景下更好地定位影响其孩子日常饮食习惯的障碍和行为。通过积极参与研究过程，父母能够注意到他们可以采取的直接影响孩子口腔健康结果的策略，例如减少果汁摄入量和监测糖摄入量。因此，视觉研究方法是研究人员考虑的一项重要策略，以便使参与者成为研究过程和结果的一部分，并更好地了解文献中代表性不足的人群的生活经历，例如患有和不患有自闭症谱系障碍的拉丁裔儿童及其家人。
Diet and food choices significantly impact teeth, including enamel quality and development of dental caries. However, studies focusing on diet and its relation to oral care in Latinx children with and without Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) have been minimally addressed in research. This qualitative study used an inclusive visual methodology to explore what Latinx caregivers learned about their child’s diet preferences and food routines in relation to their oral health. As a secondary aim, the study sought to explore whether notable differences in diet emerged between Latinx children with and without ASD. Participants were 32 Latinx caregivers from 18 families with children with and without Autism (n = 8 with a typically developing child and n = 10 with a child with ASD) who completed a food journal activity and photo elicitation interview. Interviews were thematically coded for themes pertaining to parents’ perceptions of their child’s diet and oral health. Findings of this study indicate that the process of taking photos helped Latinx caregivers to better situate the barriers and behaviors influencing everyday food routines in their children within the context of relating to their overall oral health. Via their active participation in the research process, parents were empowered to note strategies they could employ that would directly impact their child’s oral health outcomes, such as reducing juice intake and monitoring sugar consumption. Therefore, visual research methodologies are an important strategy for researchers to consider in order to empower participants to be part of the research process and part of the outcomes, and to offer better understanding of the lived experience of populations underrepresented in the literature, such as Latinx children with and without ASD and their families.
