Summary:

Sensitive topics are those that run the risk of causing emotional or physical harm to either the participant or researcher. This How-to Guide provides an overview of what makes something a sensitive topic and considerations researchers should make when investigating them in an online setting. Methodological considerations are discussed and include the benefits and drawbacks of online research methods for sensitive topics. Research on sensitive topics and online research require additional ethical considerations when designing and conducting this research, and both procedural and process ethics steps are highlighted. This guide also covers ways that online research impacts on the relationship between participants and researchers on sensitive topics. Finally, ways that online research methods can offer protection for the researcher are discussed.
