perceptions and experiences of research participants on gender based violence community based Survey implications for ethical guidelines
PLOS ONE, 2012Co-Authors: Yandisa Sikweyiya, Rachel JewkesAbstract:Objective To explore how Survey respondents perceived their experiences and the impact of participating in a Survey, and to assess adverse consequences resulting from participation. Design Qualitative study involving purposefully selected participants who had participated in a household-based Survey. Methods This qualitative study was nested within a Survey that investigated the prevalence of gender-based violence perpetration and victimization with adult men and women in South Africa. 13 male- and 10 female-in-depth Interviews were conducted with Survey respondents. Results A majority of informants, without gender-differences, perceived the Survey Interview as a rare opportunity to share their adverse and or personal experiences in a 'safe' space. Gender-differences were noted in reporting perceptions of risks involved with Survey participation. Some women remained fearful after completing the Survey, that should breach of confidentiality or full Survey content disclosure occur, they may be victimized by partners as a punishment for Survey participation without men's approval. A number of informants generally discussed their Survey participation with others. However, among women with interpersonal violence history or currently in abusive relationships, full Survey content disclosure was done with fear; the partner responses were negative, and few women reported receiving threatening remarks but none reported being assaulted. In contrast no man reported adverse reaction by others. Informants with major life adversities reported that the Survey had made them to relive the experiences causing them sadness and pain at the time. No informant perceived the Survey as emotionally harmful or needed professional support because of Survey questions. Rather the vast majority perceived benefit from Survey participation. Conclusion Whilst no informant felt answering the Survey questions had caused them emotional or physical harm, some were distressed and anxious, albeit temporarily. Research protocols need to put in place safeguards where appropriate so that this group receives support and protection.

respondent mental health mental disorders and Survey Interview outcomes
Survey research methods, 2018Co-Authors: Francisco Perales Perez, Bernard BaffourAbstract:Poor mental health and mental disorders are amongst the largest causes of disease burden across the globe, and in developed countries mental illness is on the rise. Studies of the predictors and consequences of ill mental health often rely on Surveys. However, there is very little evidence of whether or not there are differences in the ways in which individuals with good and poor mental health engage with the Survey Interview process, and on their subsequent Survey Interview outcomes. We examine the associations between respondent mental wellbeing and Survey Interview outcomes using 14 years (2001-2014) of annual, nationally-representative, Australian panel data (n∼200,000) and state-of-the-art multilevel regression models. We find that individuals with poorer mental health and mental disorders are generally more likely than individuals with better mental health to be deemed by Interviewers as being suspicious of the study, experiencing issues understanding Survey questions, and being uncooperative. We also find that these individuals are comparatively more likely to experience panel attrition, complete Interviews featuring higher item-level missing data, and fail to complete/return self-complete questionnaires. While the magnitude of these effects is moderate, our findings suggest that data collectors, researchers and policymakers need to remain cognizant of potential issues emerging from differences in the ways in which individuals with poorer and better mental wellbeing engage in social Surveys

keeping the gate declinations of the request to participate in a telephone Survey Interview
Sociological Methods & Research, 1997Co-Authors: Douglas W Maynard, Nora Cate SchaefferAbstract:The authors employ a conversation-analytic perspective, using a haphazard sample of recorded phone calls, to analyze the sequential placement of and turn construction manner for recipients' declinations of the request to participate in a telephone Survey Interview. Recipients regularly respond very early in the opening of the phone call, just after the “reason for the call” is stated. In constructing their declining turns, recipients are either polite (claiming the “bad timing” of the request or that they are “not interested”), or they are impolite, as when they abruptly hang up. Some declinations are without preamble and are minimalist, whereas others are expressive and contain some question about the nature or length of the Interview. The distribution of declination types reflect Interviewers' and recipients' coordinated social actions in their brief encounter. The authors explore implications for Survey design and data quality.

consistency in the reporting of sexual behaviour by adolescent girls in kenya a comparison of Interviewing methods
Sexually Transmitted Infections, 2003Co-Authors: Paul C Hewett, Barbara S Mensch, Annabel ErulkarAbstract:Objectives: To investigate in a district in Kenya the level and consistency of reporting of sexual behaviour among adolescent girls randomly assigned to two modes of Survey Interview: face to face Interview and audio computer assisted self-Interview (ACASI). Methods: The analysis is based on a subsample of over 700 never married girls aged 15–21 years in Kisumu, Kenya, drawn from a population based Survey of over 2100 respondents. A questionnaire with 69 questions was used, two thirds of which were considered sensitive, including questions about risky sexual behaviour, alcohol and drug use, contraceptive practice, pregnancy, induced abortions, and births. Results: ACASI produced significantly higher reporting of sex with a relative, stranger, or older man, and higher reporting of coerced sex. However, differences by mode for ever had sex and sex with a boyfriend were not significant. Relative to ACASI, the Interviewer administered mode produced highly consistent reporting of sexual activity, both within the main Interview and between the main and exit Interviews. Conclusions: Both the mode of Survey administration and the probing for various behaviours significantly affect the observed prevalence of sexual activity. The ACASI results suggest that adolescent girls in Kenya have more complex and perilous sex lives than traditional face to face Surveys of sexual activity indicate. The level of consistency in the Interviewer mode is argued to be suspect, particularly given the much lower levels of reporting, relative to ACASI, for types of sexual partners and coerced sexual activity.
