在这篇文章中，我们讨论了在两个最高安全级别的监狱进行研究时遇到的一些挑战，以及我们认为有助于通过发展合作关系、建立监狱联系和实施严格的研究方法来促进研究过程的方法。由于我们的经验，我们成功地保持了较高的囚犯参与率(80%)和一支运作良好的多学科团队。所描述的方法可能对其他计划在监狱等具有挑战性的环境中进行研究的调查人员有用。
In this article, we discuss some of the challenges encountered while conducting research in two maximum security prisons and approaches we found helpful to facilitate the research process through the development of collaborative relationships, the establishment of prison contacts, and the implementation of rigorous research methods. As a result of our experiences, we have been successful at maintaining a high rate of inmate participation (>80%) and a well-functioning multidisciplinary team. The approaches described may be useful to other investigators planning to conduct research in a challenging setting such as prisons.
