I am interested in the idea of adding photovoice components to my research. My interests are primarily with youth who commonly have difficulties related to attention and organization (e.g., youth diagnosed with ADHD and ASD), so I suspect that the cameras I would provide should be very inexpensive and easy to use. Any suggestions for models/suppliers? Another option I would consider would be relatively inexpensive tablets with camera functions.
Another option would be to use the camera function of cellphones. Even rather basic models have good cameras, and your participants, depending on which context you work in, may already have these devices. If they have them, they are likely to already feel comfortable with how to take a photo using the device. We have been using cellphones to capture parent-child interaction in an RCT in low-income communities in South Africa, and have been impressed with the quality of the footage.
Thanks!!! Those are really great suggests. And definitely cheap!!!
Hi all. I am just from the field to collect data for a study on how students can bring and use their own technology devices to investigate their school Health Promotion in a rural context in Kenya. It was basically very successful: preliminary data analysis points towards proving that BYOD is a possible alternative to close the digital divide and create digital inclusion in our schools in Africa. This way it will pacify digital literacy in areas where government-supplied computers may be insufficient due to the large population of learners. It was a photovoice design research.
