During a pilot qualitative study about children's views of Child Protective Services (CPS) investigations, the problem for study broadened to include children's views of the transition to foster care generally. Findings indicated that (1) the CPS investigation was not an emotionally charged topic for these respondents, and (2) respondents were ambivalent about foster care, liking many aspects while also missing birth parents. Respondents (most in care for the first time) were in care for nonemergency reasons, and for brief periods (1 to 5 months). These circumstances may have influenced the findings. In some cases, videotape supplemented audiotape of research interviews. Videotape proved useful, but not necessary to establish findings. Implications for research, practice, and policy are provided.

“…Recruitment is the process of explaining a research project to potential participants and giving them the chance to decide whether they are interested in research involvement. In research with children, recruitment also involves contact with parents, who provide informed consent (Bogolub, 2005;Marshall & Rossman, 1999;Padgett, 1998). In the current research, recruitment was facilitated by caseworkers, who introduced the research project to foster and birth parents.…”

“…Dr. Jane Gilgun, a social work professor with a national reputation for expertise in qualitative research, was hired as a research consultant. Insights from this study about the process of obtaining informed consent for research with foster children and the inherent challenges in acquiring this consent are available elsewhere (Bogolub, 2005) and are not repeated here. The purpose of this article is to identify the impact of researcher bias generated during sample recruitment on the research interviews with the foster children.…”

The Impact of Recruitment-Generated Bias on Qualitative Research Interviews with Foster Children

In a public child welfare agency, 6 children were recruited for a pilot qualitative study about foster children's transitions from birth homes to out-of-home care. Recruitment was protracted and in-depth and involved contact with children, birth parents, and foster parents. While conducting qualitative research interviews with the children, knowledge was gained about the impact of recruitment-generated bias on such interviews, a topic about which there appears to be no prior literature. Detailed vignettes illustrate how such bias can constrict the researcher's ability to understand foster children's communications. The impact of recruitment-generated bias on the researcher's professional relationships is identified. Suggestions to help researchers counter recruitment-generated bias and ideas for further study of recruitment-generated bias are offered.

Child Abuse Review

A substantial body of literature assessing the impact of intimate partner violence on children and associations between intimate partner violence and child abuse now exists. Central to knowledge about these areas of practice and research is a robust, child-centred consideration of some of the more challenging conceptual issues they give rise to. In this paper, we aim to stimulate debate by presenting a critical, child-centred perspective on the intersection between intimate partner violence and child abuse. Initially, we provide the context for the review by presenting a brief overview of the literature. We then consider three central issues from a child-centred perspective. We discuss the language used to describe children forced to live with intimate partner violence, and the importance of hearing children's perspectives on their experiences of such confl ict. Finally, we consider similarities and differences between the intimate partner violence and child abuse fi elds from a child-centred viewpoint. We conclude that increasing conceptual clarity around these issues will enhance research in the fi eld, and ultimately improve interventions designed to protect children forced to live with intimate partner violence.
