Abstract

Based on a secondary analysis of three qualitative studies, we describe three tensions that arose when conducting health research within the Moroccan community in the Netherlands. Namely, the tension between (1) the need for an informal recruitment approach and preventing participation as a social obligation, (2) building a relationship of trust and breaking taboos and (3) immersing into respondents’ life world and keeping a distant perspective. The current scientific practice provides limited space to align with ethnic minority’s experience that professional and formal institutes have little attention for their perspectives and needs. Research teams, consisting of researchers from different backgrounds, who take time to continuously reflect collectively on the research process are necessary to recognize such tensions and find ways to deal with these tensions.
