The purpose of this brief article is to describe some strategies for overcoming problems related to researching a "sensitive" research topic--the perceptions of gay men who are HIV+ or who have AIDS regarding the social support they receive from parents and siblings. The article discusses the rationale for the choice of a mail survey over a structured in-person interview, the development and pretest of the mail questionnaire and how a sample of respondents was located.
这篇短文的目的是描述一些策略，以克服与研究一个“敏感”研究主题相关的问题——感染了艾滋病毒或患有艾滋病的男同性恋者对他们从父母和兄弟姐妹那里获得的社会支持的看法。文章讨论了选择邮寄调查而非结构化面对面访谈的理由、邮寄问卷的编制和预测试，以及如何找到受访者样本。
