Confidentiality was a concern, especially because I asked participants to reveal personal
details about themselves, their thinking, or their experiences. In order to ensure confidentiality, I
distributed a consent form to the participants (see Appendix C). This consent form detailed the
objectives of the research and how the data would be used. The participants were given the
opportunity to review the interview transcriptions prior to the completion of the study. To
further address the concern of confidentiality, which had the capacity to skew the findings of the
study, I assigned each participant a pseudonym.
