I am not sure about the difference between case studies and user surveys. May I ask why some evaluators still use case studies to collect data even after surveying service users?

Hello, I am worried about the second trauma which might result from the program evaluation. For example, if we need to interview the victims of domestic violence or sexual violence for data collection purposes, how could we make sure that the data collection wouldn’t harm them again?
