About the Funder<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) Office of Problem Gambling Services (OPGS) was established to lead the public health response to the expansion of gambling in the Commonwealth. Since 2016, OPGS has ensured a comprehensive and integrated public health approach to problem gambling by using data to inform initiatives, engage communities, and ensure cultural intelligence and humility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About our Program: Massachusetts PhotoVoice Project<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Massachusetts Photovoice Project (MPP) is a prevention initiative that uses a youth-centered approach to engage local youth in using the photovoice method to explore underage gambling and related public health issues in their community. Photovoice is a participatory approach to storytelling and documenting environmental community conditions using photography. Youth use their learning from the photovoice process to identify a problem in their community, learn about the root causes of this problem, and identify a set of actions that can be taken to contribute as solutions to the identified problem. Through this process, participating youth gain knowledge and skills that empower them to understand, critically assess, and communicate those factors that place them and people in their communities at risk for underage and problem gambling. This approach places youth\u2014particularly those who experience disparities and inequitable balances of power\u2014at the center of community change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
