Online resources: This case study describes the complex process needed to obtain all necessary institutional permission to engage in a longitudinal study on social housing and health, which was housed at two different research institutions, and involved data collection in four different municipalities, each with its own culture and practices around research ethics. This case details the multiple steps that researchers must take to make sure that their data collection is in conformity with privacy laws and with institutional ethics protocols, and demonstrates creative solutions that may be entertained when the target population is a 'hard-to-reach' group whose membership is known only to institutional partners.
