Our study design was judged inapplicable by the Ethical Board at Kagoshima University School of Medicine in 2004. As the results of action research, The effectiveness of photovoice was evaluated by the three steps goals of photovoice. Participants in A community tackle problems (second step), but participants in B hold problems in common (first step). 1)The differences was revealed between assessment theme in the case of schoolchildren, but not in the case of parents or adults.
