| CMCH Synopsis: |
Researchers can use people's experience of their illnesses to gather information about those conditions. Video Intervention/Prevention Assessment (VIA) was first used in 1994 at Children's Hospital Boston. Participants are given video cameras and blank tapes and are asked to create "visual illness narratives" by recording as many aspects of their lives as possible. This method of research allows patients to communicate their own experience and knowledge, and to be the experts on their conditions, rather than doctors being the experts. The insight contained in these videotaped stories can be used along with clinician knowledge to provide more effective health care delivery. © Center on Media and Child Health
