Beschreibung

Over the last 3 decades, there has been a rapid growth of diverse immigrant-origin populations in the United States and other postindustrial nations. This volume provides guidance in navigating the complexities of conducting research with immigrant-origin children, adolescents, and their families. It considers culturally and contextually embedded methodologies with a focus on ethical considerations in studying immigrant origin populations. Topics addressed include: * Culturally and contextually embedded methodological approaches * Undocumented status vulnerability * Research logistics to provide protections to youth and their families as well as negotiating institutional review boards * The role of researchers in shaping research * Incorporation of a social and cultural lenses in the analysis and interpretation of studies * Policy implications of presenting findings with this population. This is the 141st volume in this series. Its mission is to provide scientific and scholarly presentations on cutting edge issues and concepts in child and adolescent development. Each volume focuses on a specific new direction or research topic and is edited by experts on that topic.

An Ethical Frame for Research with Immigrant Families

Abstract

In this introduction, the editors give an overview of the ways the volume addresses the growing individual and institutional calls for increased clarity and rigor in methodological, ethical, and practical research policies and guidelines for conducting research with immigrant individuals, families, and communities. In addition to summarizing the volume's purpose, background on the U.S. immigrant population is given, followed by delineation of the five major issues contributing to the field of immigrant studies research and entering the “field” and engaging with immigrant families and communities: heterogeneity and history, documentation status, research pragmatics, research lens and bias, and influence on policy.

I store my data in Canada because I'm afraid that ICE [US Immigration Customs Enforcement] will issue a subpoena and force me to reveal my participants' contact information. Not that they would be able to put it together because I use codes, but … [This researcher expressed no confidence that her NICHD (National Institute of Child Health and Human Development) certificate of confidentiality would sufficiently protect her participants.]

I can't count the number of times I've walked into a crisis situation. And what am I going to do, say, “Sorry your son doesn't have his asthma medicine and can't breathe. Can you fill out this survey? On a scale of 1 to 5 how important is …”? That would be ridiculous. So I spend half an hour on the phone with the pharmacist, acting as an interpreter. And what am I supposed to say when the pharmacist asks, “What is your relation to the patient?” Meanwhile, I am wondering if I am making some kind of ethical violation by learning about the child's health records. What are the boundaries?
