Abstract
In the US, various groups experience stigma and oppression due to their race, poverty, disability, or health or immigration status. Social policies designed without their input can exacerbate gaps between policy goals and outcomes, and negative societal attitudes can lead to self-stigma. This panel will describe photovoice studies with a range of stigmatized populations. Presentations will discuss their respective approaches, analysis methods, findings, and engagement and empowerment aspects.
