Photovoice is an empowering, qualitative, community-based participatory research method that engages participants to take photographs and reflect on their meanings. We employed a novel application of a Photovoice-inspired methodology to evaluate perinatal home visiting services. This article describes the feasibility and utility of remote implementation of a Photovoice-inspired project in one state’s federally funded Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Initiative. The initial project aimed to identify aspects of parenting roles/identities, goals, and home visitor–client relationship that can be leveraged to improve program engagement and retention. Training materials were sent to home visitors who acted as liaisons with parents. Reflective interviews about this photo-elicitation method conducted with parents, home visitors, and the evaluators following the project revealed that informational materials were beneficial to understanding the process. Home visitors were noted as gatekeepers and key motivators. Trainings, flexibility, timely communication, and logistics should be considered when remotely implementing Photovoice.

Photovoice是一种赋权的，定性的，基于社区的参与式研究方法，它使参与者参与拍照并反思其含义。我们采用了受Photovoice启发的方法的新颖应用来评估围产期家访服务。本文介绍了在一个州的联邦资助的“孕产妇，婴儿和早期儿童家访计划”中远程实施受Photovoice启发的项目的可行性和实用性。最初的项目旨在确定育儿角色/身份，目标以及家庭访客与客户关系的各个方面，这些方面可以用来改善计划的参与度和保留率。培训材料已发送给与父母联络的家庭访问者。与父母，家庭访客，项目结束后的评估人员发现，信息材料对理解流程很有帮助。参观者被认为是看门人和主要动机。远程实施Photovoice时，应考虑培训，灵活性，及时的沟通和后勤。
