Globally, including in North America, Indigenous populations have poorer health than non-Indigenous populations. This health disparity results from inequality and marginalisation associated with colonialism. Photovoice is a community-based participatory research method that amplifies the voices of research participants. Why and how photovoice has been used as a decolonising method for addressing Indigenous health inequalities has not been mapped. A scoping review of the literature on photovoice for Indigenous health research in the United States and Canada was carried out. Five electronic databases and the grey literature were searched, with no time limit. A total of 215 titles and abstracts and 97 full texts were screened resulting in 57 included articles. Analysis incorporated Lalita Bharadwaj's Framework For Building Research Partnerships with First Nations Communities. Photovoice was selected to improve knowledge mobilisation and participant empowerment and engagement. Studies incorporated relationship building, meaningful data collection, and public dissemination but had a lesser focus on the inclusion of Indigenous peer researchers or participant involvement in analysis. For photovoice to truly realise its decolonising potential, it must be incorporated into a broader participatory and decolonising research paradigm. In addition, more resources are required to support the involvement of Indigenous people in the research process.

为什么以及如何将光声用作美国和加拿大原住民社区健康研究的非殖民化方法？范围审查

在全球范围内，包括北美，原住民的健康状况比非原住民要差。这种健康差异是由殖民主义带来的不平等和边缘化造成的。Photovoice 是一种基于社区的参与式研究方法，可以放大研究参与者的声音。为什么以及如何使用光声作为解决原住民健康不平等问题的非殖民化方法尚未明确。对美国和加拿大原住民健康研究的光声文献进行了范围审查。检索了5个电子数据库和灰色文献，没有时间限制。共筛选了 215 篇标题和摘要以及 97 篇全文，最终收录文章 57 篇。分析纳入了 Lalita Bharadwaj 的《与原住民社区建立研究伙伴关系框架》。选择 Photovoice 是为了改善知识动员以及参与者的赋权和参与。研究纳入了关系建设、有意义的数据收集和公共传播，但较少关注土著同行研究人员或参与者参与分析。为了让光声真正实现其去殖民化潜力，必须将其纳入更广泛的参与性和去殖民化研究范式中。此外，需要更多资源来支持原住民参与研究过程。
