BACKGROUND: People with mental illness in the United States are almost twice as likely to be obese compared with those without a mental illness. Lifestyle factors, such as poor dietary choices and physical inactivity, are often cited as causes of obesity in this population, which limits the response to the obesity epidemic primarily to behavioral change interventions. In response, this project is grounded in a human rights framework to assure that the people most affected by the problem are included in understanding and addressing the problem. We sought to investigate social and structural factors that affect weight loss in partnership with community co-researchers enrolled in a group lifestyle program for overweight/obese people with serious mental illness (SMI) living in supportive housing settings.
METHODS: Using Photovoice methodology, eight co-researchers identified barriers and facilitators to healthy living in their community over seven weekly sessions.
RESULTS: Co-researchers selected 33 photos reflecting two overarching themes: 1) structural barriers, such as poor-quality food, high transportation costs, limited SNAP benefits, limits of food pantries, easy availability of tobacco and alcohol products, and limited places for exercise and 2) strategies for overcoming structural barriers.
CONCLUSIONS: Co-researchers highlighted structural barriers that were a cause or consequence of food insecurity and situations that threaten the right to healthy food and opportunities for a healthy life. Co-researchers reported examples of knowledge and skills they learned through participation in the project that were used to overcome structural barriers to healthy eating and physical activity, and likely contributed to weight loss.
