Video Intervention/Prevention Assessment (VIA) is a research method in which adolescents with chronic diseases (asthma, obesity) create video diaries with hand-held camcorders, documenting their everyday lives and environments in order to teach clinicians about their experiences of illness. This method is grounded in applied visual anthropology: it recognizes the patient and the clinician as members of two distinct subcultures working toward similar goals and acts as a "cultural broker" through its facilitation of the flow of information and its promotion of communication between the patient and the clinician. In this way, VIA provides important contextual information about illness experiences with which clinicians and patients can develop improved health management strategies. © Center on Media and Child Health
