“…Critical analysis of exemplars. Within this CIS, articles used varying titles to identify their research approaches, namely, PAR (Adili, Higgins, & Koch, 2012;Annear et al, 2014;Flinn et al, 2013), participatory and appreciative action and reflection (James et al, 2015), action research (Andonian & MacRae, 2011;Baur & Abma, 2012), community-based PAR (Andress & Hallie, 2017;Bauman et al, 2012;Fang et al, 2016;Raymond & Grenier, 2015;Ronzi et al, 2016;Yankeelov, Faul, D'Ambrosio, Collins, & Gordon, 2015), and participatory research (Ellins & Glasby, 2016;Harding et al, 2011). In spite of the varied terminology used, the intent for community collaboration as well as for addressing personal or social change was common within all exemplars as reflected in the way researchers defined the research approach they utilized.…”

“…It involved community members working alongside researchers engaging in dialogue and collaborative knowledge generation on shared lived experiences regarding a specific issue to guide action. Participation was situated within the need for understanding specific issues as well as identifying strategies and solutions generated from communities to guide action (Adili et al, 2012;Andonian & MacRae, 2011;Andress & Hallie, 2017;Harding et al, 2011;Raymond & Grenier, 2015;Yankeelov et al, 2015). Additionally, in terms of how action was situated, in some instances, projects explicitly focused on addressing changes in programs, services, policies, or institutions (Annear et al, 2014;Baur & Abma, 2012;Ellins & Glasby, 2016;Bauman et al, 2012;James et al, 2015;Ronzi et al, 2016), and some projects focusing on individual empowerment as well (Bauman et al, 2012;Baur & Abma, 2012;Flinn et al, 2013;Harding et al, 2011).…”

“…There were a wide variety of methods used within the exemplars, including traditional methods such as interviews (Andress & Hallie, 2017;Ellins & Glasby, 2016;Flinn et al, 2013;James et al, 2015;Raymond & Grenier, 2015;Ronzi et al, 2016), observations (Flinn et al, 2013;James et al, 2015;Raymond & Grenier, 2015), and focus group discussions (Adili et al, 2012;Andress & Hallie, 2017;Annear et al, 2014;Baur & Abma, 2012;Harding et al, 2011;James et al, 2015;Raymond & Grenier, 2015;Ronzi et al, 2016), as well as emerging methods and methodologies such as photovoice/photo-novel (Andonian & MacRae, 2011;Andress & Hallie, 2017;Bauman et al, 2012;Raymond & Grenier, 2015;Ronzi et al, 2016;Yankeelov et al, 2015), participatory design through clay modeling (Flinn et al, 2013), and participatory community mapping activities (Fang et al, 2016). These emerging methods and methodologies embodied different ways of knowing through the use of visuals and other sensory representations to explore issues and solutions and further enabled exploration of the contextually situated nature of identified issues and generation of place-based, relevant solutions.…”

Within research addressing issues of social justice, there is a growing uptake of participatory action research (PAR) approaches that are ideally committed to equitable participation of community members in all phases of the research process in order to collaboratively enact social transformation. However, the utilization of such approaches has not always matched the ideal, with inconsistencies in how participation and action are incorporated. "Participation" within various research processes is displayed differently, with the involvement of community members varying from full participation to their involvement as simply participants for data collection. Similarly, "action" is varyingly enacted from researchers proposing research implications for policy and practice to the meaningful involvement of community members in facilitating social change. This inconsistency in how PAR is utilized, despite widespread publications outlining key principles and central tenets, suggests there are challenges preventing researchers from fully embracing and enacting the central tenets of equitable participation and social transformation. This article intends to provide one way forward, for scholars intending to more fully enact the central tenets of PAR, through critically discussing how, and to what extent, the principles of PAR were enacted within 14 key exemplars of PAR conducted with older adults. More specifically, we display and discuss key principles for enacting the full commitment of PAR, highlight a critical appraisal guide, critically analyze exemplars, and share strategies that researchers have used to address these commitments. The critical appraisal guide and associated research findings provide useful directions for researchers who desire to more fully embrace commitments and practices commensurate with enacting the promise of PAR for equitable collaboration and social transformation.

“…We combined community asset mapping, the systematic documentation of resources in the environment (8,9), and photovoice, a participatory action research method that engages participants in reflecting on issues in their community through a specific photographic method (10,11). We conducted photovoice and asset mapping sequentially.…”

IntroductionDiabetes self-management takes place within a complex social and environmental context. This study’s objective was to examine the perceived and actual presence of community assets that may aid in diabetes control.MethodsWe conducted one 6-hour photovoice session with 11 adults with poorly controlled diabetes in Boston, Massachusetts. Participants were recruited from census tracts with high numbers of people with poorly controlled diabetes (diabetes “hot spots”). We coded the discussions and identified relevant themes. We further explored themes related to the built environment through community asset mapping. Through walking surveys, we evaluated 5 diabetes hot spots related to physical activity resources, walking environment, and availability of food choices in restaurants and food stores.ResultsCommunity themes from the photovoice session were access to healthy food, restaurants, and prepared foods; food assistance programs; exercise facilities; and church. Asset mapping identified 114 community assets including 22 food stores, 22 restaurants, and 5 exercise facilities. Each diabetes hot spot contained at least 1 food store with 5 to 9 varieties of fruits and vegetables. Only 1 of the exercise facilities had signage regarding hours or services. Memberships ranged from free to $9.95 per month. Overall, these findings were inconsistent with participants’ reports in the photovoice group.ConclusionWe identified a mismatch between perceptions of community assets and built environment and the objective reality of that environment. Incorporating photovoice and community asset mapping into a community-based diabetes intervention may bring awareness to underused neighborhood resources that can help people control their diabetes.

“…To our knowledge, this is the first instance of using Instagram as an application of Photovoice, and in fact, using photo-based methodology in the diabetes population is novel, with only two studies found, both in older adults with type 2 diabetes (Fritz, 2014; Yankeelov, Faul, D’Ambrosio, Collins, & Gordon, 2015). Thus, our primary aim was to assess feasibility markers for the proposed intervention platform.…”

Photovoice is a research method developed to help communities share images as a tool for discussion of key issues. Although this may be useful to promote healthy behavior, using Photovoice in adolescents has been logistically challenging. Given adolescents’ engagement in social media, our study explored the feasibility of using a photo-sharing mobile phone application, Instagram, to accomplish the principles of Photovoice. Twenty adolescents 14 to 18 years old with type 1 diabetes were asked to use Instagram to post any diabetes-related photo for 3 weeks. Individual interviews and a focus group were also offered, and recruitment and retention statistics were tracked. Of those approached (n = 47), 43% agreed to participate. Twelve were actively engaged. Shared photos were most likely to fall into the categories of diabetes care, humor, or food. Engaged participants universally reported the project to be a positive experience; however, there were technological and personal factors to consider for widespread implementation.
