Abstract:
Children and individuals with developmental disabilities (DD) compared to typical participants are disadvantaged not only by virtue of being vulnerable to risks inherent in
research participation but also by the higher likelihood of exclusion from research altogether. Current regulatory and ethical guidelines although necessary for their protection do not sufficiently ensure fair distributive justice. Yet, in view of disproportionately higher burdens of co-occurring physical and mental disorders in individuals with DD, they are better positioned to benefit from research by equitable participation. Greater elucidation of this ethical dilemma is called for by researchers, institutional review boards, and funding agencies to urgently redress the imbalance. This article discusses many of the regulatory principles to ensure better research participation of children and individuals with DD: human rights, validity, distributive justice, beneficence/nonmaleficence, and autonomy. Reading #5 Elliot experiment with third graders: Stephen G. Bloom,
“Lessons of a Life Time” Smithsonian Sept., 2005 (Shingles copy)
Written Assignment:
After reading the on-line readings, please find a social science study published on the web using human subjects and write an essay (2 page, double-spaced, Times 12 pt font) explaining how the researchers discussed any ethical issues and explain how they addressed those issues when implementing their study.
Suggestions for Expanding the Lesson:
Invite the Chair of the Institutional Review Board in Virginia Tech for a guest lecture on research ethics and IRB compliance requirements for social sciences research.
