impact on researchers of conducting research

Dear Colleagues,
<br>I am looking into effects <b>on researchers</b> of conducting research
on child maltreatment and violence against women. Other than the wonderful
article:
<br>Ellsberg, M., Heise, L., Pena, R., Agurto, S. &amp; Winkvist, A. (2001).
Researching domestic violence
<br>against women: Methodological and ehtical considerations. Studies in
Famly Planning, 32, 1-16.
<p>I have not found much. I am sure other researchers have written paragraphs
if not entire articles on
<br>the topic. I would be grateful both for references, and also for researchers
who might be willing
<br>to tell me about what the work has been like for them (I don't need
idenitifying info). I would like to include a piece on this in
<br>an article I am writing on research ethics. And also, as a researcher
who is also a feeling human
<br>being, I am interested in knowing what the work is like for others.
I am also interested in hearing
<br>about some of the techniques and safeguards people use to protect themselves
and their
<br>research teams (e.g. debriefing focus groups, interviewing in pairs,
interviewer training....).
<p>Feel free to respond to me directly at:
<br>LFONTES@javanet.com
<p>Thanks!

Does anyone know of situations where institutions (such as Universities
or research centers) have been sued (successfully or unsuccessfully) for
the consequences of child maltreatment reports that were made due to
research? I know IRBs are skittish about this, and I wonder
if they have historical reasons to be, or if there concerns are more in
the realm of "it could happen."
