Ethical Issues in Community-Based Research

The ethical principle 'do no harm' should be the foundation for all the work we do as community practitioners and researchers. However, sometimes in our quest for getting 'good data' we forget to put all the safeguards in place to protect the confidentiality, privacy and the vulnerability of community members engaged in research. This workshop will focus on ethical dilemmas commonly presented in community-based research. Case studies of real life examples will be used.
