“…Members were initially contacted through their chapters' email lists and chapter advisors. Subsequently, the snowball method was used to identify other respondents, particularly alumni (Hughes et al, 1995). This study was carried out in accordance with the Institutional Review Board of Case Western Reserve University.…”

High-quality cross-ethnic interactions contribute to college students' development, but knowledge is scant concerning campus settings and conditions that promote these interactions. This study indicates that distinct social practices in particular settings create such conditions. Phenomenological analysis of current and past members of a voluntary community service association (a pseudonym), appropriated to meet their social needs, revealed practices leading students from differing ethnic backgrounds to challenge stereotypes and engage in cultural learning. Inductively derived findings led to a transdisciplinary analysis that synthesizes concepts from institutional (higher education), organizational (voluntary service organization), interpersonal (social ties), and individual (personal development) levels. The emergent concept of intercultural comfort differentiated between meaningful diversity interactions within the student association and apprehensive ones elsewhere. Members experienced this intercultural comfort and an ethnically inclusive moral order due to mission-driven practices emphasizing shared purpose, fellowship, and structured interactions.

“…Those British studies that do exist 16,17 tend to focus on issues such as how best to define ethnic groups for large survey studies, or on how to ensure that large-scale survey researchers find representative samples of hard-to-reach groups. There is little systematic attempt to explain recruiting outcomes, and people's motivation to participate in research, in terms of broader patterns of local identification and networking.…”

Locating research informants in a multi AcknowledgementsOur greatest debt in this paper is to Flora Cornish, who edited the paper, and provided extensive critical comments and suggestions on an earlier version of the manuscript.We acknowledge the financial support of the Health Education Authority (now the Health Development Agency) (HEA/HDA) who funded the research. Pamela Gillies, former HEA research director, played the lead role in setting up the HEA's social capital and health research, and her intellectual leadership and support is gratefully acknowledged. Particular thanks to Moira Kelly, former HEA Research Manager, who played a key role in formulating the research proposal, in guiding the early stages of the research process and in chairing the Project Advisory Committee. It was Moira's idea that we should write this paper. Sarah Allen, Claudette Edwards, Antony Morgan and James Nazroo also served on our Project Advisory Committee, and their support is gratefully acknowledged Thanks must also be given to all those individuals who helped us in accessing research participants in our area of interest, without whom methodological reflections would not have been possible at all -in particular Bob Baker, African-Caribbean Outreach Worker, Luton Borough Council. Most of all, we would like to thank our team of research assistants whose reflections in a post-interview debriefing session allowed us to identify the different patterns that emerged in recruitment strategies within and between our communities of interest. These are Ambreen Shah, Claire O'Neill, Manzoor Khan and Shane Doheny. Thanks also go to Maria Macintyre and Nazreen Ali for their assistance.Despite our debt to these agencies and individuals, however, we emphasise that the ideas expressed in this paper are the personal views of the authors, and do not represent the views of the HEA/HDA, members of the Project Advisory Committee or other colleagues who have assisted us in various ways. 2Locating research informants in a multi-ethnic community: Ethnic identities, social networks and recruitment methods. AbstractObjectives: Recruitment of informants can 'make or break' social research projects, yet this has received little research attention. Drawing on our recent qualitative research into health and social capital in a multi-ethnic neighbourhood in South England, this paper presents a detailed analysis of the complexities encountered in recruiting research informants who described themselves as African-Caribbean, Pakistani-Kashmiri and White English.Methods: Three methods of recruitment were used: 1) advertisements and articles in local media, 2) institutional contacts through local voluntary organisations and 3) interpersonal contacts, referrals and snowballing. We compare and contrast the experiences of ethnically matched interviewers who conducted research amongst the three aforementioned ethnic groups. These experiences were recorded by means of lengthy interviewer 'debriefing questionnaires' that focused on factors that had served to help or hi...

“…International Journal of Social Research Methodology 7 community service name searching was also a relatively successful strategy and has been successfully used in other studies (Hughes et al, 1995;Mason et al, 2003). The successful response from the name searching may be seen as surprising as it was anticipated that people from the BME community would be less likely to use these services.…”

“…Potential participants are then followed up to confirm eligibility and ascertain willingness to participate. Hughes et al (1995) used the electoral register to identify participants from a BME background. In our study, we used name lists provided by charities to identify potentially eligible patients.…”
