Most participants in such studies find the exercise worthwhile and of greater benefit than emotional cost; however, systematic examination of participant reaction to research on violence is considerably lacking, especially in the Middle East region. This study begins to fill this gap by examining women\u2019s reactions to domestic violence research in Jordan and whether a personal history of violence is associated with unfavorable experiences. This sequential exploratory mixed methods study included 17 focus group discussions (FGD) with women in Amman followed by a survey conducted in reproductive health clinics throughout the country (pilot n = 30; survey n = 517). Open coding was used to identify the theme related to participant reaction in the FGD data. This construct was further examined by the subsequent survey that included dichotomous questions inquiring whether the respondent thought the study questions were important and whether they were angry or felt resentment as a result of the survey. One open-ended question on the survey provided additional qualitative data on the theme that was combined with the FGD data. Themes identified in the qualitative data pertained to expressions of gratitude and comments on the survey\u2019s value. Findings of this study indicate that Jordanian women\u2019s responses to the research process are similar to women currently represented by the extant literature in that a vast majority of its participants felt that the study was important (95%) and it did not evoke anger or resentment (96%). Many even found the study to be useful to them personally or to society. Among those who had a negative emotional reaction, most still found the research to be important. This study\u2019s findings highlight the safety and potential benefits of ethically conducted violence research.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0886260511430383","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,12,27]],"date-time":"2011-12-27T20:28:28Z","timestamp":1325017708000},"page":"1655-1676","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["A Mixed Methods Study of Participant Reaction to Domestic Violence Research in Jordan"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Cari Jo","family":"Clark","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Minnesota Medical School, Minneapolis, MN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Manal","family":"Shahrouri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"King Hussein Institute for Biotechnology and Cancer, Amman, Jordan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Louma","family":"Halasa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Amman, Jordan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Inaam","family":"Khalaf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rachael","family":"Spencer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Amman, Jordan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Susan","family":"Everson-Rose","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Minnesota Medical School, Minneapolis, MN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,12,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0886260511430383","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2850.2010.01562.x"},{"key":"bibr2-0886260511430383","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0003-066X.61.3.218"},{"key":"bibr3-0886260511430383","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1891\/0886-6708.21.4.445"},{"key":"bibr4-0886260511430383","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/135910457000100301"},{"key":"bibr5-0886260511430383","volume-title":"Domestic violence in Jordan: Definition, prevalence, reproductive health correlates, and sources of assistance for victims.
