PHOTO-MAPPING

A research team at the University of Florida, College of Public Health and Health Professions and the Center for Independent Living of North Central Florida is conducting a feasibility study. The aim is to assess how well a new method called “Photo-Mapping” enables women with physical disabilities to visually and verbally document, and relay to others, the factors that make it easier or harder for them to seek and obtain regular breast cancer screenings. Four women, with the assistance of research team members, used cameras to take digital photographs and record audio that “Photo-map” their experiences throughout an actual health care or mammography appointment. Their photos and audio were merged to create narrated slideshows which are now posted on this secure, interactive website.

Visitors, like you, are now able to view the Women’s “Photo-maps” and evaluate them for their potential as tools for education, research, and empowerment. Health care professionals also have the option to earn continuing medical education while evaluating these “Photo-maps”.
