  abstract = {{O}bjective:{T}o explore communities' perspectives on the factors in the social food environment that influence dietary behaviours in {A}frican cities. {D}esign:{A} qualitative study using participatory photography ({P}hotovoice). {P}articipants took and discussed photographs representing factors in the social food environment that influence their dietary behaviours. {F}ollow-up in-depth interviews allowed participants to tell the 'stories' of their photographs. {T}hematic analysis was conducted, using data-driven and theory-driven (based on the socio-ecological model) approaches. {S}etting:{T}hree low-income areas of {N}airobi (n 48) in {K}enya and {A}ccra (n 62) and {H}o (n 32) in {G}hana. {P}articipants:{A}dolescents and adults, male and female aged >= 13 years. {R}esults:{T}he 'people' who were most commonly reported as influencers of dietary behaviours within the social food environment included family members, friends, health workers and food vendors. {T}hey mainly influenced food purchase, preparation and consumption, through (1) considerations for family members' food preferences, (2) considerations for family members' health and nutrition needs, (3) social support by family and friends, (4) provision of nutritional advice and modelling food behaviour by parents and health professionals, (5) food vendors' services and social qualities. {C}onclusions:{T}he family presents an opportunity for promoting healthy dietary behaviours among family members. {P}eer groups could be harnessed to promote healthy dietary behaviours among adolescents and youth. {E}mpowering food vendors to provide healthier and safer food options could enhance healthier food sourcing, purchasing and consumption in {A}frican low-income urban communities.},
