Researchers reflect on aspects of the peer research experience
In parts one and two of our first blog, you can read Tesfalem and Vanja’s reflections on aspects of the peer research experience, including issues relating to methodology, identity and language, and what constitutes the ‘peer’ in peer research.
Based on their experiences of migration, work, linguistic skills, and nuanced socio-cultural cues, peer researchers brought diverse perspectives into the research process. Involvement of peer researchers also helped greatly in identifying and recruiting research participants. Peer researchers coming from the communities was crucial in building trust and confidence with research participants.
