I was one of two qualitative researchers on the study. I attended all meetings with the research team and community partners after the data was collected. I identified reciprocity as an important finding of the qualitative data, and that reciprocity was not measured by the quantitative instrument. I edited the participant made video tapes to be used for educational and advocacy purposes.
