This qualitative study draws on a photo-elicitation method ("PhotoVoice") and semi-structured interviews to examine the key areas stakeholders (30 young women between the ages of 18 and 35 in eating disorder recovery) identify as meaningful venues of policy-based change. Photography and the accompanying narratives capturing personally-meaningful social, cultural, and systemic influences on recovery were shared with the research team. Photographs and interviews were examined for policy implications using thematic analysis, and six areas of improvement emerged: media, healthcare practice and access, health insurance reform, education, objectification of the female body, and mental health stigma. Implications for reform are discussed.
本定性研究采用照片引发法（“照片声音”）和半结构化访谈，考察了利益相关者（30 名年龄在 18 至 35 岁之间的饮食失调康复中的年轻女性）认为有意义的政策变革领域。摄影和伴随的叙事捕捉了对康复有个人意义的社会、文化和系统影响，并与研究团队分享。使用主题分析检查照片和访谈的政策含义，出现了六个改进领域：媒体、医疗保健实践和获取、医疗保险改革、教育、女性身体的客体化和心理健康污名。讨论了改革的意义。
