Ethical Issues in Research
As you develop a research proposal, you must consider the ethical issues related to it.
Determine the ethical considerations related to the research question you developed in Week 1.
Consider the seven main principles of ethical research introduced in this week’s learning activity, Research Ethics Guidance:
- Social and clinical value
- Scientific validity
- Fair subject selection
- Favorable risk-benefit ratio
- Independent review
- Informed consent
- Respect for potential and enrolled subjects
Summarize the ethical issues related to your topic in a 15-20 slide presentation.
Cite at least one peer-reviewed and one evidence-based resource in APA format.
