Descripción
Sumario:In preparation of an ongoing trial to improve the treatment of leprosy (MetLep, clinicaltrials.gov: NCT05243654), we conducted a photovoice project among persons affected by leprosy in eastern Indonesia. Photovoice is a participatory visual method in which photographic images are used to explore community health and social issues among disadvantaged populations. This project generated opportunities to visualize stigma and misunderstandings people with leprosy face, and the social and mental burden that this puts on them and those around them.
