在这篇文章中，作者研究了一些与难以接触/隐藏人群相关的好处和挑战：在这种情况下，性工作者。研究的人群是在加拿大一个中等规模的大都市地区从事性产业不同部门工作的女性和男性性工作者。鉴于被调查的目标人群的隐蔽性和高度污名化的性质以及研究项目所处的当地环境，作者描述了密切社区学术合作的必要性。作者讨论了研究合作对参与各方的主要好处和挑战，包括社区合作伙伴组织，土著研究助理和学术研究团队。最后，他们讨论了帮助克服研究奋进中面临的主要挑战的策略。
In this article, the authors examine some of the benefits and challenges associated with conducting research on hard-to-reach/hidden populations: in this instance, sex workers. The population studied was female and male sex workers working in different sectors of the sex industry in a medium-size Canadian metropolitan area. Vie authors describe the need for close community-academic cooperation, given the hidden and highly stigmatized nature of the target population that was investigated and the local context in which the research project was embedded. The authors discuss the main benefits and challenges of the research collaboration for the various parties involved, including the community partner organization, indigenous research assistants, and academic research team. They conclude with a discusssion of strategies to help overcome the main challenges faced during the research endeavor.
