Who Knows the Streets as Well as the Homeless? Promoting Personal and Community Action through Photovoice
Abstract
Photovoice is a process by which people can identify, represent, and enhance their community through a specific photographic technique. The purpose of the Language of Light Photovoice project was to enable men and women living at a shelter in Ann Arbor, Michigan to photograph their everyday health, work, and life conditions as a way to document their struggles and strengths; to promote critical dialogue through group discussion about their photographs; and to reach policy makers and the broader public about issues of concern to homeless people. The authors’ approach used photovoice, an innovative participatory action research method based on health promotion principles and the theoretical literature on education for critical consciousness, feminist theory, and a community-based approach to documentary photography. Photovoice involves community members’ taking pictures, telling stories, and informing policy makers about issues of concern at the grassroots level. The authors describe and analyze the project, offer recommendations to health promotion practitioners carrying out photovoice projects with society’s most vulnerable groups, and discuss implications for practice.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
