Rochester Healthy Community Partnership, a 20-year community based participatory research partnership, used photovoice to learn about Hispanic/Latino and Somali immigrants’ health concerns. Participants photographed their health-related priorities, reflected, developed policy recommendations, and shared photographs at a public event and rotating exhibit in 2024. More than 100 people attended the event (19 decision makers, 64 members of the public, 11 immigrant leader participants, 11 research staff). All decision-maker and public survey respondents reported learning something new about the priorities of Hispanic/Latino and Somali immigrants.
