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?

Thanks for your interest.

I see. Thank you so much for this information.

You are so considerate. I think first you may seek the consent of participants and make sure their participation is voluntary. Besides you also need to let them know that they are free to say NO to your interview questions. During your interview process, special attention should be paid to the content of your questions, the way regarding how you ask them. Overall, you need to be sensitive and careful.
