Enhancing Disability Research Through Participatory Video: Reflections on a Brazilian Study.

This paper explores the use of participatory video (PV) in a case study conducted in Arcoverde, Brazil, to address the call for greater participation of individuals with disabilities in health and social care planning and research. PV is grounded in similar concepts to the Disability Rights Movement's principle of "Nothing About Us, Without Us" and serves as a potential collaborative tool for individuals with disabilities to shape their narratives and contribute to research. The study was part of a multi-methods research project on healthcare access, with the PV research focusing on primary healthcare in Arcoverde.
