“…Studies that used the arts for knowledge production used the arts predominantly as a tool for generating data. The most commonly used art forms in these studies were visual arts, such as photographs and drawing (Guillemin, 2004;Hanna, Jacobs & Guthrie, 1995;Locsin, Barnard, Matua & Bongomin, 2003;Nowicka-Sauer, 2007;Oliff & Bottorff, 2007;Oliff, Bottoroff, Kelly & Halpin, 2008;Pelander, Lehtonen & Leino-Kilpi, 2007). Photo voice and photo elicitation methods were explicitly identified in 21 studies.…”

The arts are valued by most societies for a variety of reasons. From a health perspective they have been valued primarily for therapeutic purposes. Subsequently, the benefit of the arts in health research is increasingly evident. Although the arts have been used as a research method in other disciplines, their use in health is much more recent. There is no clear understanding of the kind of arts or the way the arts have been used as a research method.This systematic review of the literature was conducted to fill this knowledge gap. We undertook the review to determine what constitutes arts-based methods in health research and how have these methods been used.We searched eight databases using different combinations of several keywords. We used content and thematic analysis to analyze our results.Thirty studies met our criteria for inclusion. Visual arts were the most common, followed by performance arts, and literary arts. The purposes of using arts in health research were primarily for knowledge production and knowledge translation.Artistic methods are a useful technique for both knowledge production and translation purposes, albeit to a limited degree. We will discuss our findings in terms of trends, methodological issues and theoretical issues. Further research is needed to advance this area of knowledge.

“…Examples of studies that used participant generated photographs include those by Perka et al (1992), Hanna, Jacobs and Guthrie (1995), Monteiro and Dollinger (1998) and Harrington and Schibik (2003). In the Perka et al (1992) study, three AfricanAmerican and three white Greek undergraduate students were given a camera with a 24-exposure roll of film.…”

This study explores the usefulness of reflexive photography for qualitative research in the human and social sciences. The investigation was done in the context of how male academics construct their world in a university during transformation. A group of white, male academics in the human sciences were provided with a camera and were requested to take pictures of the most meaningful aspects of their work environment. Thereafter photo-elicitation interviews were conducted, transcribed and analysed. The study illustrates the usefulness of reflexive photography to determine human interpretation of interaction with the environment. Participants commented positively on and helped to identify the advantages and limitations of the technique. The research indicated that photographs have no intrinsic meaning but serve as symbols of meaning that participants explain during interviews. Content analysis, a second level of analysis that is based on the first level, is useful in some ways as indicated.

“…In another session, the interviewer asked a participant about 2 days where his blood glucose data showed extreme fluctuations from low to high and back to low (see [27][28] March in Fig. 4).…”

“…Photography, video, and drawings have been used to elicit health-related stories in related research [26][27][28][29][30][31][32]: we expand on those interventions by including timestamps on the images and associating them with biomedical data. Blood glucose measurements and photos are uploaded to a software system that we built to visualize the two forms of data -biomedical and behavioural -to show possible correlations between daily routines and health.…”
