Pitt Project Addresses Teen Mental Health through Lens of High School Students

Sara Baumann, a postdoctoral associate in Pitt’s Graduate School of Public Health whose specialty is visual research methods, led a project in which cameras were given to young people they were doing research with to have them film aspects of their lives. The cameras were given to Pittsburgh teens to learn about their mental health just before the pandemic hit, and as a result, there are now a variety of films made by Pittsburgh area high schoolers that give an up-close look at the state of their mental health.
