在过去的几年里，人们越来越关注使用基于社区的参与性研究（CBPR）来预防和控制复杂的公共卫生问题。Photovoice是CBPR中使用的几种定性方法之一，因为它是一种参与性方法，让社区参与者使用摄影和关于他们照片的故事来确定和代表对他们重要的问题。在过去的几年里，摄影之声的方法经常被用来探索社区健康和社会问题。利用photovoice方法的一个新出现的机会是对社区建筑和社会环境的研究，特别是在查看邻里环境时。目前的photovoice文献中缺少的是对photovoice作为健康促进研究方法（传统上强调能力建设，基于社区的方法）和作为揭示居民对社区作为健康机会或障碍来源的看法的方法的优点和缺点的批评。本文将开始，以解决这一差距，讨论的成功和挑战，使用photovoice方法在最近的CBPR项目，探索社区的建成和社会环境的看法（最终目标是告知社区为基础的慢性病预防措施）。本文最后提出了方法上的建议和未来研究的方向。
Over the last number of years there has been growing interest in the use of community-based participatory research (CBPR) for preventing and controlling complex public health problems. Photovoice is one of several qualitative methods utilized in CBPR, as it is a participatory method that has community participants use photography, and stories about their photographs, to identify and represent issues of importance to them. Over the past several years photovoice methodology has been frequently used to explore community health and social issues. One emerging opportunity for the utilization of photovoice methodology is research on community built and social environments, particularly when looking at the context of the neighbourhood. What is missing from the current body of photovoice literature is a critique of the strengths and weaknesses of photovoice as a method for health promotion research (which traditionally emphasizes capacity-building, community-based approaches) and as a method for revealing residents’ perceptions of community as a source of health opportunities or barriers. This paper will begin to address this gap by discussing the successes and challenges of using the photovoice methodology in a recent CBPR project to explore community perceptions of the built and social environment (with the ultimate goal of informing community-based chronic disease prevention initiatives). The paper concludes with methodological recommendations and directions for future research.
