Community engagement methods like photovoice have allowed researchers to gather and incorporate the experiences and perspectives of community members in their work but have at times faced challenges regarding systematization, accessibility, and scalability. This practice note describes the Our Voice initiative, one example of a community-based participatory research framework that aims to build on photovoice theories and best practices and address these challenges by incorporating the use of a mobile app as well as elements of participatory action-based citizen science to support community-driven data collection, analysis, and advocacy. We explore the application of the Our Voice method and evaluation of multilevel participant and community outcomes across three different Bay Area, California, communities. In doing so, we hope to provide a potential example for practitioners of other community-based participatory research and photovoice-based models to draw from when working with diverse communities to integrate local perspectives and insights in the generation and implementation of sustainable community health improvements.
社区参与方法，如影像照相等，使研究人员能够收集和整合社区成员的经验和观点，但在系统化、可及性和可扩展性方面面临挑战。本实践说明介绍了“我们的声音”倡议，这是一个基于社区的参与式研究框架的范例，旨在借鉴影像照相等理论和最佳实践，并通过使用移动应用程序以及参与式基于行动的公民科学的元素来应对这些挑战，以支持社区驱动的数据收集、分析和宣传。我们探讨了“我们的声音”方法的应用以及在加利福尼亚州三个不同湾区社区中多层次参与者和社区结果的评估。通过这样做，我们希望为其他基于社区的参与式研究和基于影像照相等模式的实践者提供一个潜在的范例，以便在与不同社区合作时，将当地的观点和见解纳入可持续的社区健康改善的产生和实施中。
