Abstract
This thesis analyzed photovoice, a type of community-based participatory research (CBPR), to explore its contribution to Black youth's ethnic-racial identity development (ERI). CBPR is a partnership that allows knowledge to be shared between researchers and community members to identify and address local public health issues. Photovoice aims to promote critical consciousness and empower youth through photography. Youth capture moments of health issues in their community and discuss them with peers and researchers. Photovoice was used in this case study to explore the causes and consequences of community violence among Black youth between the ages of twelve and eighteen. Researchers used the theoretical framework of critical consciousness to analyze the impact of photovoice on youth's perception of their own ethnic-racial identity. Longitudinal qualitative analyses were conducted on transcripts from the photovoice sessions to identify ERI development. Trajectory analysis was also performed to identify common themes and how they changed over time. Results indicated that the critical consciousness developed through photovoice had positive implications for Black youths' ethnic-racial identity development. Photovoice helped strengthen youth's pride in their self-image and racial history. The findings from this study inform future uses of photovoice as a health intervention and show how community-based participatory research can improve the development of ethnic-racial identity in Black youth.
