| Photovoice is a new approach to health communication that entails providing people and communities with cameras so that they can take photographs, tell stories, and reach policy makers. The concept and methodology are underpinned by principles set forth in the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion, and by theoretical approaches to education for critical consciousness, feminist theory, and a community-based twist to documentary photography. This session features best practices, outcomes, and limitations of three photovoice projects conducted in Chiang Mai, Thailand; Flint, Michigan; and the San Francisco Bay area. Taken together, they illustrate how public health professionals and community people can use photovoice as a tool to document health disparities; analyze causes; and influence policy makers and community leaders to change existing norms of institutionalized discrimination and to improve programs and policies | ||||
