TL;DR
Benefits and risks in applying member-check when studying healthcare topics are explored, questioning the way it should be performed.
Abstract
Because participants' experience regarding member-check is difficult to predict, such a procedure should be undertaken cautiously. Prior to initiating member-check, researchers should ask themselves whether such a procedure is potentially risky for participants; and if anonymity cannot be guaranteed, use alternative procedures when needed.
