Photovoice is a research method developed to help communities share images as a tool for discussion of key issues. Although this may be useful to promote healthy behavior, using Photovoice in adolescents has been logistically challenging. Given adolescents' engagement in social media, our study explored the feasibility of using a photo-sharing mobile phone application, Instagram, to accomplish the principles of Photovoice. Twenty adolescents 14 to 18 years old with type 1 diabetes were asked to use Instagram to post any diabetes-related photo for 3 weeks. Individual interviews and a focus group were also offered, and recruitment and retention statistics were tracked. Of those approached (n = 47), 43% agreed to participate. Twelve were actively engaged. Shared photos were most likely to fall into the categories of diabetes care, humor, or food. Engaged participants universally reported the project to be a positive experience; however, there were technological and personal factors to consider for widespread implementation.
照片心声是一种开发出来帮助社区分享图像的研究方法，作为讨论关键问题的工具。尽管这可能有助于促进健康行为，但在青少年中使用照片心声在实际操作上具有挑战性。鉴于青少年对社交媒体的参与度，我们的研究探讨了使用一款照片分享手机应用程序Instagram来实现照片心声原则的可行性。20名14至18岁的1型糖尿病青少年被要求使用Instagram发布任何与糖尿病相关的照片，为期3周。我们还提供了个人访谈和焦点小组，并跟踪了招募和留存统计数据。在被邀请的人群中（n = 47），43%同意参与。12人积极参与。分享的照片最有可能属于糖尿病护理、幽默或食物类别。参与的参与者普遍报告该项目是一次积极的经历；然而，要广泛实施还需要考虑技术和个人因素。
