This is a list of some of
the most relevant papers on ethical trauma research methodology. Suggestions
for additions are welcome: kblease@vancouver.wsu.edu.
We find it helpful to
give all participants information about trauma in a non-threatening newsletter
or pamphlet form. This allows participants to receive information about
sensitive topics without having to ask for it. For those participants living
with an abusive partner, we hope this format is safer than a pamphlet or card
that contains only information related to domestic violence or child abuse. (Word file).
