Photovoice是一种参与式行动研究方法，使参与者能够拍摄他们的日常生活，作为记录和宣传他们需求的一种手段;它很少被用于无家可归的年轻人。目前的研究探讨了可行性，可访问性，并与参与相关的初步成果要求改变，手动Photovoice干预，青年（18-21岁）住在无家可归者收容所（N = 22）。多个数据来源，包括实地观察，标准化的事前措施，和定性的离职面谈收集了两个队列的要求改变。结果表明，干预措施是可行的，许多年轻人高度接受，创造了新的机会，与年轻人联系，并在干预前和干预后（n = 9），与沟通技巧，社会联系，弹性和福祉的改善。本文讨论了这项工作所面临的挑战和固有的好处，并概述了一个强大的研究议程，以推动这一知识库的发展。
Photovoice is a participatory action research method that empowers participants to photograph their everyday lives as a means of documenting and advocating for their needs; it has rarely been utilized with young people experiencing homelessness. The current study examined the feasibility, accessibility, and preliminary outcomes associated with participation in Asking for Change, a manualized Photovoice intervention, among youth (ages 18-21) staying in a homeless shelter (N = 22). Multiple sources of data, including field observation, standardized pre-post measures, and qualitative exit interviews were collected across two cohorts of Asking for Change. Results suggest the intervention was feasible and highly acceptable to many young people, created new opportunities to connect with young people, and, among those surveyed pre and post intervention (n = 9), was associated with improvements in communication skills, social connectedness, resiliency, and well-being. This article discusses the challenges and benefits inherent in doing this work and outlines a robust research agenda to move this knowledge base forward.
