Rooted in community-based participatory research, Photovoice aims to educate and promote critical dialogue among stakeholders to elicit community and policy action. Photovoice can be used with a wide age range (youth to older adults) to explore diverse topics, such as physical and mental health, diet, physical activity, climate change, disease management, health inequities, and social issues. The photovoice methodology includes a structured framework for taking pictures and writing narratives to describe what was photographed, enabling responses to be qualitatively coded for themes. This study explored how the photovoice training methodology could be taught to students during the COVID-19 pandemic, when many training opportunities moved virtually. Our work developed an online training site, Learn Photovoice (https://sites.google.com/view/learnphotovoice), which permits asynchronous learning in independent or group settings. The site enables groups nationwide to implement photovoice projects based on a set of prompts approved by OHSU's Institutional Review Board (IRB).}, number = {IR}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.6083/6969z143h}, recid = {9566}, address = {2022-04-11}, }
