Health and Wellness Photovoice Project


About the Health and Wellness Photovoice Project

Project Objectives

Photovoice is a participatory research method that entrusts people with cameras to document their everyday lives and promote social action. The goal of this project was to engage residents at supportive housing agencies in a dialogue about their physical health to generate community-based knowl¬edge and strategies to inform the development and imple¬mentation of health care interventions that can be effectively introduced into these agencies.
