Description :
A significant gap in the ethics of researching sensitive topics is identified. To begin filling this gap, reflections on experiences researching the lived experience and policy engagement with alcohol in Cape Town are presented. The international literature on sensitive topics was applied and adapted to the South African context. The challenges which arose during fieldwork and the strategies developed to mitigate them are examined, mindful of the need for particular attentiveness to research methods. - (AJC)
