Community Research Ethics Training

This web site provides ethics training for lay people who do research work in communities (in both English and Spanish).  These people are often indigenous to the community where the research is taking place.  It is designed to help them consider and confront the sort of issues they might face as recruiters, data collectors and as members of their community.  Research work includes recruiting people for research, handing out questionnaires, and interviewing people.  This site is also for research supervisors.  It was developed by contract for the Office of Research Integrity of the Department of Health and Human Services.  GSSWSR Professor Leslie Alexander Ph.D. was the Principal Investigator, Kenneth Richmond, Ph.D., a bioethicist now at the Massachussetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences was the Co-Principal Investigator.
