Overview
Dollar Street is a website that collects photos of the living conditions of populations throughout the world. This data illustrates the disparities populations face among different social positions, such as economic status. The technique of collecting photos to document and communicate health disparities is called photovoice. The photovoice technique is a way to advocate for marginalized communities and give them a voice through photos. With photovoice, you can more easily visualize the social determinants of health.
