TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Photovoice Ethics: Critical Reflections From Men's Mental Health Research JO - Qualitative health research A1 - Creighton, Genevieve A1 - Oliffe, John L. A1 - Ferlatte, Olivier A1 - Bottorff, Joan A1 - Broom, Alex A1 - Jenkins, Emily K. SP - 446 EP - 455 VL - 28 IS - 3 N2 - As photovoice continues to grow as a method for researching health and illness, there is a need for rigorous discussions about ethical considerations. In this article, we discuss three key ethical issues arising from a recent photovoice study investigating men's depression and suicide. The first issue, indelible images, details the complexity of consent and copyright when participant-produced photographs are shown at exhibitions and online where they can be copied and disseminated beyond the original scope of the research. The second issue, representation, explores the ethical implications that can arise when participants and others have discordant views about the deceased. The third, vicarious trauma, offers insights into the potenial for triggering mental health issues among researchers and viewers of the participant-produced photographs. Through a discussion of these ethical issues, we offer suggestions to guide the work of health researchers who use, or are considering the use of, photovoice.
