View Resource

Reports on how African American adults and adolescents perceive cardiovascular health, and associated barriers and enablers through the use of a community-based participatory research method identified as photovoice to facilitate understanding. Photovoice engages communities by providing cameras for participants to help them demonstrate public health issues and interventions needing to be addressed. Six adults and nine adolescents from rural Lenoir County, North Carolina participated in eight 90-minute transcribed discussions on cardiovascular health.
