Photovoice
Seeing is believing. Successfully piloted in Colorado in 2006, Photovoice puts cameras into the hands of community residents so they can document the barriers to healthy eating and active living in their own communities. By creating a visual record of the environmental conditions in their neighborhoods, residents identify opportunities for community change, help set priorities, and act as advocates for change with city officials, policy makers, and legislators. Photovoice is being implemented in at least nine Kaiser Permanente communities to lift up residents' voices and create change.
