What is PhotoVoice? PhotoVoice is a participatory research method that allows patients, clients and community members to share their experiences. Using photographs can illuminate barriers to access, illustrate quality of care or influence policy and resource decision making in respectful and supportive ways. It can help unite service providers and patients through visual accounts to understand and to address health care issues as a shared endeavour. It is an innovative research technique of interest to community members, graduate students, policy makers.
