This study proposes an innovative use of a modified version of photovoice for cross-national qualitative research that allows participants to express their ideas, experiences, and emotions about a topic through photographic language. We examine factors affecting social service providers' work on people experiencing homelessness in Europe. We highlight five advantages of using photovoice in cross-national research: visual language, methodological flexibility, participatory data analysis, the bottom-up process, and the promotion of social change. Moreover, we identify key stages of the process: writing a detailed protocol for the implementation and fidelity of the projects, using two levels of data analysis, and disseminating the results. This study provides lessons learned for others who may want to use photovoice in cross-national research.

在一项关于无家可归的欧洲跨国研究中使用修改版的 photovoice

这项研究提出了一种创新的使用修改版本的 photovoice 进行跨国定性研究，允许参与者通过摄影语言表达他们对某个主题的想法、经验和情感。我们研究了影响社会服务提供者为欧洲无家可归者开展工作的因素。我们强调了在跨国研究中使用照片语音的五个优势：视觉语言、方法灵活性、参与式数据分析、自下而上的过程以及促进社会变革。此外，我们确定了该过程的关键阶段：为项目的实施和保真度编写详细的协议，使用两个级别的数据分析，并传播结果。这项研究为可能希望在跨国研究中使用光声的其他人提供了经验教训。
