Access to these files will be restricted to the researcher Elena Vargas Montero. Using a coding system for identifying participants when transcribing tapes, deleting the tapes on completion of transcription Carefully disposing of information that could reveal participants, for example by shredding or burning or placing in confidential waste at the University, rather than disposal in wastebaskets or recycling.
