Do #qualitative interviews cause #distress when used for sensitive topics and/or in sensitive populations?
A thread (& case study with #cancer #survivors).
1/5
2/5 #Qualitative research is ideally suited to gain rich insights into human experience, including those with medical conditions and at-risk groups.

But, one #barrier to conducting #qualitative interviews is concern (often from physicians or IRB/ethics) of causing #distress
3/5 Yet, data on distress around #qualitative #interviews with medical pops is lacking.

In our new #PsychoOncologypaper, #AYA #cancersurvivors completed a validated distress screening tool before, after & 1 week after an interview on #fearofrecurrence

@GovRonDeSantis must really want to insult the 150,000 people who have died from #COVID19 in this country. #CancerSurvivors have been saying this for decades: using "fight" language to talk about people who survive disease implies that those who died just didn't try hard enough.
Bacteria, viruses, and other illnesses are not stopped by individuals' "fight" or "desire."

But #science tells us that #covid19 *is* stopped by masks. Try giving a rousing speech about people saving others by wearing #masks. Or better yet, #mandatemasks so everyone wears them.
Either way, burying the lede in a feel-good story about someone lucky enough to survive #covid is just another way that @GovRonDeSantis is trying to distract us from his refusal to act responsibly as the leader of a state that is being unnecessarily ravaged by this #pandemic.
