Abstract
Photovoice allows people to use photography to document, improve, build, and participate in their communities. It is an effective way to collect and convey information because it uses the power of visual imagery to allow people to reflect on the needs and strengths of their communities and the programs and organizations within them. The simplicity of photovoice allows everyone to participate, and takes needs assessment and evaluation and places them in the hands of community members rather than academics. The results can be shared easily with other community members as well as policy makers. Photovoice can be used to start or continue dialogues, to build community and efficacy, and to make lasting positive changes.
