Anonymity and Confidentiality
How will we protect your anonymity?
How will we keep your story confidential?
Unless otherwise agreed upon at the time of contact, only Carmen Poulin and/or Lynne Gouliquer (the primary researchers) will conduct the interview and it will be at a place and time mutually acceptable to you. The general topic of discussion will be your life experience as it relates to your involvement with the military.
In any oral or written presentation of the results of this study (e.g., a book), your anonymity will be protected. In other words, your personal identity will not be traceable or recognizable through any oral presentation or written material produced out of this research.
If you agree to participate, you may, at any point during the interview, choose not to answer any specific question, or ask that any notes or materials taken during the interview all be destroyed at any time during or following the interview until the data analysis begins.
Our intent is to protect everyone’s anonymity, confidentiality, and privacy. We will not publish material that will lead to anyone’s identification.
