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 one of the following formats:

  • 18- to 20-slide presentation
  • 15- to 20-minute oral presentation
  • 875-word paper
  • Another format approved by your instructor

Cite at least one peer-reviewed and one evidence-based resource in APA format.
