"This handbook provides guidelines on the practice and ethics of participatory visual methods (PVM) with emphasis on their use in low and middle income countries (LMIC) for community and public engagement in health and health science. The guidelines are drawn from the hands-on experience of the authors and the insights they have gained as PVM practitioners working with these methodologies in LMIC for 10 years or more. The handbook has been developed for use by engagement practitioners who are relatively new to the field of PVM and want to learn more about what they are and how to work with them. It also aims to support health science researchers who wish to include visual methods when engaging local communities and wider publics in their work. The handbook does not explore the theory behind PVM or provide an in-depth review of the literature. For each method that is described the pioneering work in the field is cited, along with other suggested reading, should you wish to learn more." (Foreword)
