Youth Participation in Photovoice
as a Strategy for Community Change
Caroline C.
Wang, DrPH, MPH
SUMMARY.
Photovoice is a participatory action research strategy
which can contribute to youth mobilization for community change.
The
strategy can enable youth to (1) record and vivify their community’s
strengths and concerns; (2) promote critical dialogue and knowledge
about community issues through group discussion of photographs; and
(3) reach policy makers.
Following a description of the photovoice
methodology, this article briefly highlights ten projects in which youth
used photovoice to represent, advocate, and enhance community health
and well-being.
