Structure and Content of Photovoice Training Workshops Over a 10-Month Period.

No.	Group Workshops	Objective
1	Co-researchers learned about the project, set ground rules, and took part in photo-dialogue exercises to start thinking about the meaning behind images. Cameras were provided and exercises completed to practice photography, including “homework” exercises (to take three photographs of something with the co-researchers’ favorite color, or three photographs of things that they liked/were important to them).	To understand the process of photovoice and develop camera skills.
2	Co-researchers selected, printed, and discussed their chosen photographs from the “homework” exercises. Co-researchers revisited information about the research project and dementia. Consent was revisited. Plans were made to visit participants and psychosocial interventions were discussed.	To learn more about photovoice by printing and talking about photographs and the meaning behind them. To make plans for the fieldwork period.
Fieldwork period begins: Co-researchers visited participants to view the psychosocial (non-drug) interventions. Each observed and took photographs to reflect their perspectives. Co-researchers subsequently shared and discussed their chosen photographs and were interviewed by a university researcher.
3	Co-researchers explored other health-based photovoice projects and undertook further camera exercises.	To revisit photovoice methodology
4	Co-researchers viewed and discussed a range of accessible information and resources to further their understanding of dementia. A group discussion of dementia took place.	To enhance shared understanding of dementia.
5	Semi-structured interviews which led to individual experiences also being shared. Prompting questions included how dementia had affected people they knew including what changed for the person, how dementia had affected them, and what they felt was important both for the person with dementia and their peers.	To explore co-researcher perception and experiences of dementia and facilitate their development of ideas for photography
6	Co-researchers translated their thoughts on dementia into ideas for photographs. Co-researchers took more photographs.	Visual representation produced of perceptions of dementia
7	Co-researchers labeled and discussed their photographs prior to sharing locally and nationally.	To finalize selection of 14 preferred images to present as part of the study
