Ethical Concerns

In this discussion, you will describe ethical issues involved with your research proposal and provide feedback to classmates on their plans for handling ethical issues.

Include the following in your initial discussion post:

● Explain the ethical implications involved in your proposal. ● Describe ethical considerations related to the problem, intervention

(if appropriate), research methods, and design. ● Include in your discussion a brief description of the population of

interest and what kinds of ethical implications might be involved with this population. You must explain the needs of your potential population and how diversity may play a role (for example, diverse cultural needs). Questions to consider:

○ Are you working with kids, older adults, inmates, or other special populations?

○ Are you working with people who might have suffered a trauma of some sort?

● If you think your study will have limited ethical implications, explain how you have evaluated the topic for ethical considerations, including the guidelines you have used.

● Finally, identify ways to mitigate or address any ethical issues.
