Photovoice is a community-based participatory research method wherein participants communicate their life’s experiences through photography. In this study, a group of rural children used Photovoice to communicate their physical activity preferences to researchers, their peers, and community partners. Thereafter, the information from the Photovoice project was used by the researchers and community partners in a physical activity intervention to teach children about physical activity. The purpose of this article is to discuss and describe the Photovoice project and to explain how the information obtained from that project was uniquely used in the design of a subsequent physical activity intervention.
