Research Ethics and Validity
Using the University Library, locate one peer-reviewed research study with possible ethical concerns. You may use a research study you identified in the Week Two Annotated Bibliography assignment if appropriate but not the same article used in the Week Three Learning Team assignment.
Review ethical principles learned this week. When you select your article, consider the possible ethical issues in the research process: sampling, methodology, data collection, etc. The focus should be on the research study, not the health issue.
Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper addressing the following:
- Include an introduction and conclusion
- Summarize the research study.
- Describe the ethical guidelines from our class material
- Provide an example of how the selected research study did or did not comply with the ethical guidelines from our class.
- Define validity and relate it to the research study.
- Hint: Review previous learning activities for key validity concepts, including internal and external validity and associated threats to validity.
- Discuss how stakeholders can influence health care research.
Cite at least 3 peer-reviewed scholarly references.
Format your assignment and references according to APA guidelines.
