Opis

Focusing on the use of participatory visual methodologies such as photovoice, participatory video, drawing and mapping in public health research, this book explores modes of inquiry that can engage with participants and communities, eliciting evidence about their own health and well-being, and how this empirical data can be offered directly to health personnel, community members, and perhaps also policy-makers.　This collection offers a critical overview for students, practitioners, researchers and policy makers working in or concerned with the use of participatory methodologies in public health around the globe.　This book was originally published as a special issue of Global Public Health.
