  2. Ethical Consideration in Qualitative Research • Similar to quantitative considerations, with some differences • Long-term and close personal contact with participants. • Anonymity- confidentiality is broken in research reports. (small number of participants) • Observational studies- no consent forms signed, in which case participants were unable to withdraw.

  3. Informed Consent • If the goal of the research, is to receive information that can prevent violence- the guidelines of ethical conduct are waved. • Participations should be aware that participating is voluntary. • Participants need to be provided with a certain amount of knowledge regarding the research- who funded, who will conduct, how the data is used, and what is required of them.

  4. Protecting Participants From Harm • Protected from physical or psychological harm. • Sensitive research topics ex. Sexual abuse • In-depth interview, private information To Avoid: • Need to provide knowledge of topics being addressed. • Use clear and direct questions. • If topic gets too emotional, move towards less sensitive topics. • Do not provide counsel or advice

  5. Anonymity and Confidentiality • Identity of participants should only be shared with research team. (However if third party is involved- participants should be informed) • In order to maintain confidentiality some minor details about the data can be changed. • Videotapes should be destroyed after completion of transcripts. (Unless necessary, in which case consent in needed)
