East Harlem, New York, is a community actively struggling with diabetes and its complications, including vision-related conditions that can affect many aspects of daily life.
Vision Voice was a qualitative community-based participatory research (CBPR) study that intended to better understand the needs and experiences of people living with diabetes, other comorbid chronic illnesses, and vision loss in East Harlem.
Using photovoice methodology, four participants took photographs, convened to review their photographs, and determined overarching themes for the group's collective body of work.
Identified themes included effect of decreased vision function on personal independence/mobility and self-management of chronic conditions and the importance of informing community members and health care providers about these issues. The team next created a documentary film that further develops the narratives of the photovoice participants.
The Vision Voice photovoice project was an effective tool to assess community needs, educate and raise awareness.
纽约东哈莱姆区是一个正在积极应对糖尿病及其并发症的社区,这些并发症包括会影响日常生活诸多方面的视力相关疾病。
“视觉之声”是一项基于社区的定性参与式研究(CBPR),旨在更好地了解东哈莱姆区糖尿病患者、其他合并慢性疾病患者以及视力丧失者的需求和经历。
采用摄影叙事法,四名参与者拍摄照片,聚在一起回顾他们的照片,并确定该小组集体作品的总体主题。
确定的主题包括视力功能下降对个人独立性/行动能力以及慢性病自我管理的影响,以及向社区成员和医疗保健提供者宣传这些问题的重要性。该团队随后制作了一部纪录片,进一步展开摄影叙事参与者的故事。
“视觉之声”摄影叙事项目是评估社区需求、开展教育和提高认识的有效工具。
