Photovoice as community-based participatory research: a qualitative review.
OBJECTIVE
To explore the use of photovoice as a research methodology to identify and explore community health and disability priorities.


METHODS
Published studies (n = 31) that applied photovoice as a research methodology to promote and enhance individual and community change were identified and reviewed.


RESULTS
Findings are explored and organized by community concerns and priorities; participant recruitment, training, and camera instruction; identification of photo assignment; photo assignment discussion; data analysis; outcomes; and evaluation of program and policy changes.


CONCLUSIONS
Despite the limitations of the studies and/or how they are reported, findings from this review support further application of photovoice to facilitate community change.
