However, a growing number of studies report that research processes that engender participant reactivity may actually lead to important benefits both for participants (e.g., therapeutic benefits) and researchers (e.g., deeper understandings and more relevant and actionable findings). This mutually beneficial situation can help to maximize a different type of validity termed \u201cstreet validity\u201d by Greenwood (as cited in Boudah &amp; Lenz, ; 2003), which directly relates to research impact.<\/jats:p><jats:p>This paper reports findings from a longitudinal mixed\u2010method investigation of the information behavior of people with type 2 diabetes, focusing on participants' self\u2010reports regarding whether\/how they felt that participating in the study had influenced (or will influence) their behavior. Many participants described specific ways in which they found their participation helpful. For example, they reported that it led to decreased denial, increased self\u2010awareness, and improved motivation to look for and make use of diabetes\u2010related information. This paper explores the potential trade\u2010off between research validity and street validity within a qualitative study and posits that, as was the case with this study, important lessons can be learned as a result of directly questioning participants about whether\/how their participation in the study influenced them and that these lessons can perhaps be implemented within the context of applying the research findings in assisting other people from the study population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/meet.14505001063","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,8]],"date-time":"2014-05-08T16:35:28Z","timestamp":1399566928000},"page":"1-10","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Participant reactivity in a longitudinal mixed\u2010method study of the information behavior of people with type 2 diabetes: Research validity vs. \u201cstreet validity\u201d"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"Beth St","family":"Jean","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1440-1800.2001.00085.x"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","article-title":"Use of information sources by cancer patients: Results of a systematic review of the research literature","volume":"11","author":"Ankem K.","year":"2006","journal-title":"Information Research"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-4571(199404)45:3<149::AID-ASI5>3.0.CO;2-J"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1049732304270837"},{"volume-title":"Research Methods: A Tool for Life","year":"2004","author":"Beins B.
