Come learn about the ins and outs of human participation in interview, survey, and focus group research. We’ll walk through the different IRB submission types, consent options, recruitment processes, and other challenges that come up when conducting this type of research. Discussion will also include how to maintain confidentiality of data collected and privacy of individuals, when referrals may be necessary as well as determining appropriate compensation.

Location: Kresge 212
When: Thursday, October 18th, 11:30 am – 12:30 pm
At a loss as to how to ethically include vulnerable populations in your research?

Populations touched upon will include minors, pregnant women, neonates (viable and nonviable), economically disadvantaged, low-literate, students, employees, prisoners, cognitively impaired individuals, and those with a stigmatizing health condition. Strategies for protection of these groups as well as explanation and how to meet the IRB requirements will be highlighted.
