BETANCUR-BETANCUR, Catalina  and  OVIEDO CACERES, María del Pilar. Uses, challenges and perspectives of visual techniques in public health research. Rev. Univ. Ind. Santander. Salud [online]. 2022, vol.54, e503.  Epub Oct 22, 2022. ISSN 0121-0807.  https://doi.org/10.18273/saluduis.54.e:22008.

Developing alternative ways of understanding social phenomena requires research methods that broaden the scope of standard interviews, focus groups and participant observation techniques. This article aims to analyze the uses, challenges and perspectives of visual techniques in the field of public health; it seeks to contribute to the enhancement of methodological options and expand the research repertoire used to understand health and disease processes in populations. With these techniques, the research process can be more open, more democratic, more attractive and inclusive; in public health, they open possibilities for collaborative approaches and encourage the repositioning of participants as co-producers of knowledge.

Keywords : Qualitative Research; Public health.
