Participants record their personal experiences with illness using video-cameras over the course of 12-16 weeks. The completed video is analyzed by experts in medicine, anthropology, psychology and social work. Participants in VIA studies have shown improvement in their quality of life and have become more active partners in the treatment of their chronic disease. © Center on Media and Child Health ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Year: 2005 Article Title: Visual narratives of the pediatric illness experience: Children communicating with clinicians through video Journal: Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics of North America Volume: 14 Issue: 14 Pages: 571-587 ISSN: 1056-4993 Source of Funding: Arthur Vining Davis Foundations; Deborah Munroe Noonan Memorial Fund; John W.
