--- - |2 Abstract Violence is a public health issue that disproportionately affects adolescents from historically marginalized communities. In response to growing concerns of local violence, our community–academic partnership explored adolescents’ perspectives about violence, including perceptions of its causes, consequences, and potential solutions. Ten adolescents participated in a 12‐week photovoice project. They received training in basic research methodologies, documented representations of violence through digital photography and creative writing, engaged in empowerment‐based photo‐discussions, and presented their work to influential advocates in a community forum. Adolescents and staff conducted a thematic analysis of photographs and narratives from which 10 themes emerged across 3 domains: a culture of violence and oppression, structural violence, and mental and physical health. Adolescents presented their work to community stakeholders in a public forum to foster additional discussions regarding violence in the community. This photovoice project yielded rich qualitative insight into adolescents’ experiences with and perceptions of violence. - Journal of Community Psychology, Volume 46, Issue 8, Page 1026-1044, November 2018.
