Flint Photovoice代表了41名年轻人和成年人的工作，他们被招募使用参与行动研究的方法来记录社区资产和关注，批判性地讨论由此产生的图像，并与政策制定者进行沟通。在基层社区领导人的建议下，我们邀请政策制定者拍照。根据先前建立的照片之声方法，我们还在项目开始时招募了另一批政策制定者和社区领袖，为实施照片之声参与者的政策和方案建议提供政治意愿和支持。弗林特照片之声使年轻人能够向政策制定者表达他们对社区暴力的担忧，并有助于为当地预防暴力获得资金。我们注意到，将决策者纳入拍照的成年人中产生了有益的结果。
Flint Photovoice represents the work of 41 youths and adults recruited to use a participatory-action research approach to photographically document community assets and concerns, critically discuss the resulting images, and communicate with policymakers.At the suggestion of grassroots community leaders, we included policymakers among those asked to take photographs. In accordance with previously established photovoice methodology, we also recruited at the project's outset another group of policymakers and community leaders to provide political will and support for implementing photovoice participants' policy and program recommendations.Flint Photovoice enabled youths to express their concerns about neighborhood violence to policymakers and was instrumental in acquiring funding for local violence prevention. We note salutary outcomes produced by the inclusion of policymakers among adults who took photographs.
