[Air-L] youth and online recruitment and interviews

[Karen Farquharson]

The Writing Themselves In 3 survey of same-sex attracted young people (report here (pdf): http://www.latrobe.edu.au/arcshs/downloads/arcshs-research-publications/WTi3.pdf) might be useful. There is a section on recruitment.

Best,
Karen

Subject: [Air-L] youth and online recruitment and interviews

Hi all,
I am looking for resources and advice on recruitment and research with youth in online spaces. I am hoping to talk to 13-17 year old LGBTQ youth about their experiences with anti-bullying outreach efforts. I'm hoping to carry out interviews through Facebook chat, Google chat and email. I recognize that getting this study approved by the IRB at my institution will be quite the challenge. 

Does anyone have any suggestions or models for navigating this process? Getting parental consent won't work for this project, so I'm looking for ways to address issues of anonymity, etc. 

I would greatly appreciate it!

All the best,
