Researchers are explicitly cautioned to avoid promising

too many benefits because this may

be coercive—motivating

participants to volunteer in hopes of

a direct benefit. In contrast, community

partners may want more than

a vague hope that information will provide greater understanding.

because the partners in a project may

have very different understandings

of a project. Communication can clarify who
