Funder: University of Louisville Cooperative Consortium for Transdisciplinary Research
Funding amount: $9,500
Role: Principal Investigator
This study investigates youths’ perceptions of the problems in their neighborhoods and the solutions that would help. Using photovoice methodology, the youth photographed salient parts of their neighborhood, wrote narratives for their photographs, and discussed them with the research team. These photographs and accompanying narratives will be used to highlight the youths’ voices in Louisville and inform policy and research more broadly.
