In 2012, I embarked on a PhD study to examine what happens to Arab Muslim women when they arrive in the United States. Little is known about these women in the growing and diverse Arab Muslim population, and there is limited information available regarding their experiences of living in the United States. Previous studies had relied largely on quantitative methods to examine the health risks and prevalence of illnesses within the Arab/Muslim American population; only a few qualitative studies shed light on the health needs of this population. This case study provides an account of one practical aspect of a 2-year-long PhD project, taking the reader to the heart of some specific situational and methodological problems that arose in the course of the research. Arab Muslim immigrant women in the United States represent a population that is very difficult to access, and this poses a significant challenge for researchers. My insider status as a researcher allowed for the identification and use of strategies that were successful in accessing this hidden population. Strategies related to (a) accessibility and participation, (b) data collection, and (c) the relationship between the researcher and the participants are discussed. My study looked at the shared experiences of Arab Muslim immigrant women living in the United States. This qualitative descriptive research was conducted by means of in-depth, semi-structured interviews lasting 1-2 hours. Qualitative descriptions of Arab Muslim immigrant women living in the United States reflect influences that affect functioning in the mainstream culture, the use of resources or agencies, and the decisions they make that shape their acculturation outcomes. If these influences are not explored and recognized, they may interfere with these women's adjustment to living in the United States. [This content is provided in the format of an e-book.]
