Abstract

An interdisciplinary research team evaluated a public housing revitalization project in northwest Washington State to assess the effects of relocation on residents and provide recommendations on assets in the new community. Researchers used photovoice as one method to gather data, asking participants to take photographs of their neighborhood and discuss the images with interviewers. This article addresses the challenges of using photovoice in a community that included immigrants from Cambodia, Vietnam, and Russia. The practical, ethical, and social challenges of using photovoice in ethnically diverse populations and implications for practice are discussed.
