Read the Belmont Report. As you read, pay attention to the ethical issues that can arise in research involving human subjects. Reflect on the impact ethical violations can have on participants, researchers, and nursing. Also consider how international and federal regulations were changed to protect research participants, vulnerable populations, and diverse populations.

Read the following research case study: 

To develop a curriculum module to educate teens about the consequences of substance use and abuse, research staff recruit teens and parents to participate in focus groups. The focus groups are tasked with identifying knowledge content (i.e. what teens need to know). Each study participant is to be paid $20 at the end of each session. After lively discussion at the first focus group sessions, the researchers are surprised that only 20% of parents and 10% of teens return for the second session. When they phone the no-shows, the researchers learn that several participants are concerned that sharing their knowledge about the local drug scene and drug use may suggest that they are involved in illegal activities and may get into trouble with authorities. The researchers promise confidentiality, urge continuation in the study, and double the incentive to $40. A day prior to the third scheduled focus group meeting, the investigators phoned the no-shows again. They make it clear that they have the option of dropping out, but repeat that discussions are confidential and that they consider input from people who know the teens’ drug use and the local community important to the development of a valid educational program on drug use and abuse.  

Assessment Deliverable Create a 13-slide presentation, with detailed speaker notes, in which you apply the ethical principles you learned from the Belmont Report to the provided research case study. In your presentation, address the following prompts about the Belmont Report and the case study: 

Belmont Report

Identify and summarize an example of unethical research from the report. Explain which ethical principle was violated in the study. Describe the impact of the violation of the ethical principle on participants, researchers, and nursing.  Explain how international and federal regulations were changed to protect research participants, vulnerable populations, and diverse populations. Case Study

Identify the ethical principles that are relevant to the case.  Describe any privacy or confidentiality concerns related to the parents’ or teens’ participation in the study  Discuss the researcher’s responsibility to avoid violating ethical principles or rights to privacy and confidentiality.  Describe how the ethics violation in the case study undermines the credibility of the research study.  Explain how recruitment for the study might be different for a student or parent with mental health concerns.  Explain any possible social determinants of health or cultural considerations related to diversity and equity when recruiting students and parents for the study.

•   The slides themselves should only contain essential information and as little text as possible. Do not design a slide presentation made up of long bullet points. Your speaker notes should convey the details you would give if you were presenting.
