Case Study: Dollar Street collects photos of the living conditions for populations throughout the world. This data illustrates the disparities faced by populations among different social positions (i.e., economic status). The technique of collecting photos to document and communicate health disparities is called Photovoice because it advocates for vulnerable or marginalized populations, giving them a voice through photos. With Photovoice, we are able to easily visualize the strong relationship to the social determinants of health.
