Although a growing number of projects have been implemented using the community-based participatory research method known as photovoice, no known systematic review of the literature on this approach has been conducted to date. This review draws on the peer-reviewed literature on photovoice in public health and related disciplines conducted before January 2008 to determine (a) what defines the photovoice process, (b) the outcomes associated with photovoice, and (c) how the level of community participation is related to photovoice processes and outcomes. In all, 37 unduplicated articles were identified and reviewed using a descriptive coding scheme and Viswanathan et al.'s quality of participation tool. Findings reveal no relationship between group size and quality of participation but a direct relationship between the latter and project duration as well as with getting to action. More participatory projects also were associated with long-standing relationships between the community and outside researcher partners and an intensive training component. Although vague descriptions of project evaluation practices and a lack of consistent reporting precluded hard conclusions, 60% of projects reported an action component. Particularly among highly participatory projects, photovoice appears to contribute to an enhanced understanding of community assets and needs and to empowerment.

OBJECTIVES: To determine parental participation in medical decision-making (MDM) during hospitalization and its association with parental self-efficacy and to explore other factors associated with participation. STUDY DESIGN: We surveyed parents of children admitted to a pediatric medical unit to measure parental report of participation in MDM during hospitalization and self-efficacy with physician interactions (categorized into tertiles). We performed multivariate logistic regression to evaluate the association between self-efficacy and parental participation, controlling for potential confounders. RESULTS: One hundred thirty of 278 eligible parents completed surveys and 86% reported participating in MDM about their child's care. After adjusting for covariates, parents with scores in the middle and highest self-efficacy tertiles had higher odds of participating in MDM compared with parents in the lowest tertile. Younger parents and parents of previously hospitalized children were also more likely to participate although parents with a high school education or less were less likely. CONCLUSIONS: Self-efficacy was significantly associated with parental participation in MDM during hospitalization after adjusting for confounding factors. Interventions to increase self-efficacy may also improve parental participation in MDM.
