Ethics and Code of Conduct
Not what you're looking for?
Why does research that uses humans as participants need to be regulated?
Think about studies that were conducted prior to the current laws and the long range and devastating effects they had and, in some cases, still have.
State an area of ethical issues that you may anticipate and need to address as you may plan a study in this area.
Identify at least three ethical issues that you can anticipate when planning when planning this area of interest.
How would you conduct research in that area?
Please give references!
So resources you can refer to.
