The project used automated cameras to qualitatively examine the home environments of 13 children of varying ethnicities and socioeconomic deciles in the Wellington region. It assessed exposures related to alcohol, tobacco, screen time, self-image, transport, and dinner settings, revealing numerous health-modifying influences and confirming the feasibility of camera technology for such environmental research on children's health behaviours.
