Abstract Using the creative arts, this study examined and illustrates the perspectives of how community factors influence safety and violence. Through the use of an innovative methodology (Visual Voices), the authors analysed the perspectives on safety and violence of 22 African-American youth in Baltimore and Pittsburgh. The group from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, lived in a subsidized housing community and attended an after-school program. The two groups were similar demographically. For both sites, the age eligibility ranged from 8 to 15. The Baltimore sample included five girls and four boys, ages 8 to 14. The Pittsburgh sample included nine girls and four boys, ages 11 to 15 years.

Summary:



Using the creative arts, this study examined and illustrates the perspectives of how community factors influence safety and violence. the topic of community safety research questions research ethics considerations and priorities of the project were developed in full collaboration with the community research partners at both sites. the specific illustrations and related discussions were informed by the youth themselves with the only prompting from facilitators being a reminder to a have fun b respectfully share the materials and space and c focus on community- level features that they considered to be safe and not safe. researchers interested in partnering with young people to address complex public health issues should consider using this approach. visual voices shares more in common with the photovoice method where cameras are placed in the hands of the community members and through a rigorous process enables them to reflect on community strengths and weakness in order to engage in a dialogue about important issues related to their locality.
