Co-constructing home with photovoice: Older residents of an assisted living facility build a Photonarrative

The purpose of this secondary data analysis study was to understand how older adults of an assisted living facility used photo narratives to co-construct a shared narrative of home and plan for resident action. Focus group data from an earlier study of African-American older adults in assisted living facilities were explored using narrative analysis to highlight the dialogic process embedded in photovoice methodology. An analysis of content and narrative structure was used to identify the contributions of individual photo narratives to a shared group narrative.
