Instructions

This week, you will prepare a pamphlet for your assignment submission. Assume your pamphlet will be used by local researchers to help educate potential research subjects. Your materials will help these individuals decide whether they want to participate in future research studies, as ethical treatment and adherence to guidelines are important considerations.

As related to your topic or selected research area, first, briefly describe each of the five APA ethical principles and illustrate their importance when conducting research. Then, explore possible concerns or consideration to be mindful of when designing a research study with your specific topic or area of focus in mind. Select at least one relevant issue for each of the five ethical principles that could be a concern for your topic, and then document how you could avoid these ahead of time. What might you do to comply with these ethical principles and guidelines?

Provide a pamphlet with graphics and visual aids to help you illustrate these points.

Support your assignment with at least three scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including seminal articles, or the APA website, may be included.

Length: trifold pamphlet, not including title and reference pages

Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.

TOPIC:

I am currently pursuing my degree in Child and Adolescent Development. I find myself intrigued with the age old debate of nature vs nurture. Which one truly shapes development? In our current happenings we have seen an increase in human trafficking among our youth. It made me wonder, does socioeconomic status affect the likelihood of a child or adolescent becoming a victim of human trafficking? As I review this, I realized that in order to reach an adequate hypothesis for this, I may have to use qualitative reviews. Due to human trafficking being hard to decipher, I would have to use opinions and proposed explanations to adequately research this hypothesis.

The most difficult issue with trying to research this topic is that most victims of human trafficking are not aware that they are victims, other than willing participants. Some question I would want to answer would be:

What income population do most victims come from?

What incentives are offered, if any, to victims to persuade them into this lifestyle?

Are lack of resources a factor? Such as child care family support, etc.

What is the parental education level of the parents of the victims?

Do the parent have knowledge of what is being proposed? What to expect?

What is the parent’s understanding of human trafficking?

Is the family a two-parent home, or one parent home? What is the level of parental involvement from both parents?
