“…Observer notes and video recordings were later used to determine the presence or absence of physical and social disorder. More recently, photographs have also been used to measure physical disorder for both criminological (Braga and Bond 2008) and health studies (Cannuscio et al 2009). These research projects show the value of using visual data to better operationalize and measure theoretical concepts such as social and physical disorder.…”

“…Instead, researchers would select the locations of photographs/ videos a priori (Sampson and Raudenbush, 1999;Braga and Bond 2008) or locate them on a map after the fact (Cannuscio et al 2009). If these studies were to be replicated using geotagged photographs, it is likely the data collection, management and analysis could be streamlined using a digital approach.…”

“…A full description of the project's methods is available elsewhere, 21 and sample photographs are available online (www.visualepi.com). The project began with staff photographers' systematic social observation and photographs of a 10% random sample of blocks in three neighborhoods that represent a steep socioeconomic gradient (13%, 20%, and 44% of households in poverty).…”

“…20 We conducted a photo-documentation study in three contiguous Philadelphia neighborhoods that span from affluence to poverty, in order to understand residents' street-level views of the causes of urban health disparities, which we refer to as "streetlevel etiologies." 21 Among 32 participants, the majority (75%) raised concerns regarding aspects of both the urban food environment and foodways that produce health disparities. This essay intends to expand the range of hypotheses examined in quantitative epidemiological or sociological study in other (representative) samples.…”

“…Muestra de ello, es el uso de las imágenes fijas en estudios propios como en la epidemiologia social, en donde una observación sistemática de las comunidades a través de las imágenes favorece un mayor entendimiento de la relación entre la salud y enfermedad, estimulando la creación de un puente entre los investigadores y la población 25 . Este presente estudio se diferencia metológicamente de otros que utilizan las imágenes fijas, en algunos aspectos 25 : no utiliza la técnica llamada "Photovoice" (técnica bastante difundida en los estudios con imágenes), hace énfasis en todos los niveles marginación existentes para una población urbana en México y está dirigido a documentar específicamente posibles barreras para la actividad física y no elementos del ambiente que pudieran estar en relación con otros daños a la salud. También se diferencia en que en México no existe la amplia facilidad social para tomar públicamente fotografías a elementos del ambiente construido como casas, como sucede en países como Estados Unidos 25 .…”
