Go-along interviews, which are interviews conducted whilst being in and moving within participant selected spaces, were conducted with 66 LGBTQ adolescents (14-19 years old) in their self-identified communities to explore perceived community attributes, including safe spaces, resources, and supports; this paper highlights methodological lessons learned. Successful recruitment in two countries and varied community settings required partnership with local LGBTQ supporting agencies, including school-based Gay Straight Alliances. Youth chose to walk, use public transportation, and drive to community locations, identifying numerous formal and informal resources in their communities. Participant reflections highlighted that go-along interviews can be conducted in safe ways that encourage LGBTQ youth to express themselves about communities in which they live, study, work, play, and relax.
随行访谈是指在参与者选定的空间内并在其中移动时进行的访谈。研究人员在66名14至19岁的 LGBTQ 青少年自我认同的社区中进行了随行访谈,以探索他们所感知到的社区属性,包括安全空间、资源和支持;本文重点介绍了从中吸取的方法学经验教训。在两个国家和不同的社区环境中成功招募参与者,需要与当地的 LGBTQ 支持机构建立合作关系,包括校内的同性恋异性恋联盟。青少年选择步行、乘坐公共交通工具或开车前往社区地点,识别出社区中的众多正式和非正式资源。参与者的反馈强调,随行访谈可以以安全的方式进行,鼓励 LGBTQ 青少年表达他们对自己生活、学习、工作、娱乐和放松的社区的看法。
