“…In our experience, the use of images changed the dynamic of our conversations with the children, and as others have found, the pictures the children shared at interview gave rise to information that might not otherwise have emerged (Clark-Ibanez, 2004;Miller, 2015). PEI enabled the children to engage in the study and speak up about their lives.…”

“…PEI that uses photographs taken by the participant is also referred to as native, reflexive, or autodriven photography (Epstein et al, 2006). The photographs can be used as visual inventories of objects, people, and artifacts; a depiction of events as part of a collective or institution; and to portray an intimate dimension of a family, social group, or person (Clark-Ibanez, 2004;Harper, 2002). The photographs in PEI can help to generate deeper understandings of the phenomenon under investigation, as the participant and researcher explore meanings generated through the photographs.…”

“…When undertaking research with children as participants, PEI allows the researcher to explore a child's life world, examining those things that are of importance to the child, and opening the study up to areas that could otherwise be overlooked if a purely adult perspective was driving the study (Clark-Ibanez, 2004). While the method presents real possibilities for research with children, potential challenges in using PEI with children can include gaining ethics and research approvals to use visual methods with children, and the fact that PEI studies can be more time consuming, expensive, and demanding than traditional interviews (Meo, 2010;Miller, 2015).…”

Children can sometimes find it difficult to articulate their experiences if they have to rely solely on words. Giving children the opportunity to use arts-based research approaches can support their participation in research and create a bridge that enables them to express their perspectives and feelings. This paper focuses on the ethical and practical considerations when using photo elicitation interviews (PEI) in research with children. The discussion and examples provided are drawn from an international study that used auto-driven PEI, where photographs are taken by children themselves, to explore children's experiences of living with a chronic condition and the impact condition management may have on their everyday lives. In this paper we critically explore the issues arising from our use of PEI including children's participation and engagement, balancing power and control, and keeping children safe. The main areas of focus for the paper are how PEI provided a means of shifting control; how setting photographic boundaries influenced our PEI study with children; and how we addressed risks associated with the method. Our experience shows that PEI is an engaging and valuable research method, providing a powerful medium for obtaining rich data with children. However, PEI is challenging and it requires researchers to conscientiously address ethical and practical aspects that extend beyond those inherent to standard (words-alone) interviews.

“…In particular, it borrows aspects of photo-elicitation [9], a technique in which images are provided by the researcher, or created by participants, to guide and enhance the depth of interviews with individuals [10]. The images serve as a conduit for communicating tactic information that participants may take for granted in a traditional interview or focus group setting.…”

Objective: Young adults with type 1 diabetes face multiple challenges managing their disease and navigating the life transitions of emerging adulthood. This places them at increased risk for poor health and psychological outcomes. The purpose of the present formative evaluation study was to assess the impact of diabetes on their lives and identify salient messages for health promotion using an online photo-elicitation technique.Research Design and Method: Thirty young adults participated by submitting photographs and written narratives describing how diabetes has impacted their lives.Results: Diabetes negatively impacts young adults' social connections, identity, and self-perceptions; yet, mechanisms for coping and personal growth were identified among participants.Conclusions: Young adults with diabetes face significant challenges in coping with the disease; however, they are able to reframe their experience in positive ways using effective coping strategies, such as communicating with others who understand what life with diabetes is like and developing social connections.

“…In the geographic study of Bignante (2010) it is called "native image making technique." Ethnographers usually define it as "auto-driven" (Clark-Ibáñez, 2004;Samuels, 2004) or "participant-driven" photo-elicitation (Rose, 2007). In this study, we will refer to it as "participant-driven" photo-elicitation.…”

Ten Mozambican Community Multimedia Centers (CMCs) were investigated by analyzing Social Representations of users and staff members. Photo-elicitation, an underexplored methodological approach in the domain of Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D), was employed to conduct the study, and a three-step qualitative content analysis was performed on both visual and textual data. Results tend to confirm and build upon outcomes from the existing literature on Public Access Venues (PAVs). Local communities value these centers because they bring social recognition to people working or learning there. The venues are associated with a symbolism that extends from the social recognition of the individual to the development and social inclusion of the whole community, which, because of the presence of the venue, does not feel left behind. In this vein, the study also shows that the importance of CMCs is often not related to the newest technology available, but to the technology that reaches the most of the community. The study also highlights neglected dimensions of CMCs, such as the importance of the exterior appearance of the venue, and the perception of a switch in their nature from static centers funded by third parties towards more entrepreneurial-driven ones. The presented research also contributes to the ICT4D field by proposing a promising research protocol, which is able to elicit representations otherwise difficult to obtain. Keywords: Community Multimedia Center; Social Representation; Photo-elicitation; Telecenter; Community Radio; Mozambique. 1.INTRODUCTION Community Multimedia Centers (CMCs) are one of the numerous ways of providing access to information to all, as well as reducing the digital and development divides. The model of CMCs (UNESCO, 2004) combines the characteristics of a telecenter, a public access venue (PAV) where people can access a number of different Information and Communication Technology (ICT) services (usually computers, internet, fax, photocopy machines, etc.), and a community radio station, broadcasting in both the official national language and local languages; all managed by members of the community where it is located.In 2003, Mozambique was chosen for a scale-up phase of the CMCs program. This phase envisaged the creation of 20 new centers in two years and was projected to reach a total of at least 50 centers. The country, which at the end of the 1990s had already seen the appearance of both community radio stations and telecenters separately, was considered to be a promising field for the development of this model (UNESCO, 2004 (MCT, 2008). This article aims to inform academics, practitioners, and policy makers of local stakeholders' perceptions of CMCs in Mozambique and is grounded on the concern of understanding the contextual reality as an essential requisite to guarantee the impact and sustainability of ICT-based interventions for development (Brunello, 2010;Heeks, 2002;Irani et al., 2010;Kleine & Unwin, 2009;Tedre et al., 2006 (Moscovici, 1...
