“…Therefore, many researchers have emphasized focusing on collaboration with the community to identify the most common primary concerns (e.g., Abe et al, 2018;Becker, Reiser, Lambert, & Covello, 2014;Francisco, 2013;Francisco & Butterfoss, 2007;McMillan & Chavis, 1986;Terry et al, 2018). This would ensure that Muslims' needs are met and that they get familiarized with formal mental health services in an effective way so that their issues are addressed and their quality of life is enhanced, as mental health services include both (Kaplan, Tarvydas, & Gladding, 2014).…”

Muslims in the United States experience many psychosocial issues and underutilize mental health services. This study sought to systematically identify the common issues and strengths of the Muslims affiliated with a college in the Southeast region of the United States and address them accordingly. A survey comprising 33 items and 2 open‐ended questions regarding common issues and strengths was constructed. A total of 116 participants completed the survey. The overall rating for items was quite high, whereas the satisfaction rating was very low. The most important item was, “You have prayer places/rugs, ablution stations, and water in restrooms,” with an importance rating of 94.52% and a satisfaction rating of 20.50%. Four items regarding mental health were rated as the least important, and participants reported lack of knowledge regarding mental health services. This is the first study that includes a list of common concerns and strengths of the Muslim communities affiliated with colleges in the United States.

“…Participants focus on issues of greatest concern to them and their lives. Participants communicate this information to other participants, healthcare providers and other influential advocates (i.e., campus faculty, staff and administrators) who can more effectively make change (Becker, Reiser, Lambert and Covello, 2014). Photovoice can provide empowerment to participants by making their experiences visible.…”

Problem Statement: Examining the experience of mental illness among college student participants when they are prescribed medication provides the potential to gain insight into medication adherence in addition to other healthcare service issues and barriers with mental illness in a university collaborative healthcare system that students face. Purpose and Methodology: Photovoice methodology allows individuals to use cameras to photograph their everyday health and work realities, thereby focusing on issues of greatest concern and communicating these issues to policy makers, healthcare providers, and influential advocates who can be mobilized to make change. Researchers provided disposable cameras to the participants. These participants captured photographs of their everyday experiences that reflect their individual perspective on their lives with medications. Once the photographs were collected, the researchers held group and individual reflection sessions with the photographers to discuss their photographs and how their photographs essentially gave them a voice about their medications. The researchers then qualitatively analyze the discussions and photographs to develop general themes regarding the research group. Finally, dialog was held between research participants and healthcare providers with the goal of education and action-oriented change. Findings and Conclusions: The study included 12 college students prescribed one or more medications to gather descriptive rich data regarding use of photovoice methodology, to assess the collective and individual experience of prescription medication use in this group, and to share findings with a small group of healthcare providers and staff on campus. Photovoice research methodology has not yet been applied to medication-taking behavior of

“…Another facilitation approach that has gained prominence in the literature is the use of photo-voice as a means of bringing to the fore the voice, experiences, knowledge and narratives of marginalised groups (Becker et al 2014;Castelden, Garvin & Huu-ay-aht First Nation 2008;True, Rigg & Butler 2015). Photovoice is an advocacy and research technique that sets out to influence systems and policies by using 'photographic images taken by persons with little money, power, or status to enhance community needs assessment, empower participants, and induce change by informing policy makers of community assets and deficits' (Strack, Magill & McDonagh 2004, p. 49).…”

“…Another study by Becker et al (2014) offers some insight into how a photo-voice project was used to create a curriculum that teaches researchers to effectively use the technique to effect change. The study sheds light on the experiences of researchers and participants in a Wyoming photo-voice project.…”

Exploring discursive frictions in community researchCommunity-based research (CBR) is a preferred approach to conducting research that affects disenfranchised groups because of its egalitarian tenets and its emphasis on building partnerships between the researcher and the community. Strand et al. (2003) characterise CBR as a collaborative engagement between academic researchers and the community that endorses multiple sources of knowledge and has as its goal the pursuit of social justice. Over the past decade, the promotion and practice of CBR have significantly To ensure CBR projects are ethical and effectively achieve their goals of social justice and social change, it is necessary not just to detail the pitfalls of adopting CBR uncritically, but also to highlight the pervasiveness of power asymmetries in CBR relationships and suggest ways that the negative effects of power asymmetries may be mitigated by adopting participatory methodologies rooted in Foucauldian thinking.Consequently, the purpose of this article is to detail some of the dangers inherent in uncritical CBR practice, highlight the pervasiveness of power asymmetries in CBR relationships, and explore how Foucault's notions of power can be used to interrogate how CBR partnerships function and how they might be challenged through participatory methodologies to achieve
