| Abstract | Violence is a public health issue that disproportionately affects adolescents from historically marginalized communities. In response to growing concerns of local violence, our community–academic partnership explored adolescents’ perspectives about violence, including perceptions of its causes, consequences, and potential solutions. Ten adolescents participated in a 12-week photovoice project. They received training in basic research methodologies, documented representations of violence through digital photography and creative writing, engaged in empowerment-based photo-discussions, and presented their work to influential advocates in a community forum. Adolescents and staff conducted a thematic analysis of photographs and narratives from which 10 themes emerged across 3 domains: a culture of violence and oppression, structural violence, and mental and physical health. Adolescents presented their work to community stakeholders in a public forum to foster additional discussions regarding violence in the community. This photovoice project yielded rich qualitative insight into adolescents’ experiences with and perceptions of violence. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. |

| Overall, we found that participants developed and demonstrated a high level of interest and pride in the project, their photos and narratives, and the community forum. . | Effective community-based approaches for violence prevention stand not only to save lives and prevent injury among those directly impacted by violent acts, but to promote health equity, strengthen communities, and foster well-being. . | Through a series of community events (e.g., group discussions, community forums, trainings and workshops, and a summer film series), the group sought to raise awareness, solicit community perspectives around violence as a health disparity, and ultimately to influence communitylevel change. . | Photographs can contain explicit and implicit stories of each participants experience and have the capacity to expose pieces of that experience to others beyond that which can be achieved through narration alone. . | The photovoice process also relies on established partnerships with key community stakeholders, encourages the equitable inclusion of partners in the research process, and generally culminates in a community forum through which participants can articulate their perspectives to stakeholders and community members. . |
