Following a presentation&nbsp;by Aliya Kuzhabekova&nbsp;on studying vulnerable immigrants, panelists discussed their experiences&nbsp;studying various types of vulnerable groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Panelists stressed the importance of protecting the safety of vulnerable participants and avoiding causing harm.&nbsp;For example,&nbsp;giving participants the option to participate in a study through online means of communication may increase anonymity and safety. Panelists also encouraged researchers to be careful not to put participants in a position of vulnerability with their language, cautioning against labeling participants as \u201cvictims\u201d or \u201cvulnerable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, leveraging the expertise of a research ethics board is key in uncovering risks and navigating issues such as undue pressure or triggering trauma. Due process also helps researchers prepare for what&nbsp;they&nbsp;might need in terms of resources, ranging from having counselors during interviews to providing funds to cover transportation cost for research participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Panelists agreed that partnering with community service providers, serving the vulnerable population, is an effective way to gain a better understanding of the population,&nbsp;home&nbsp;in on relevant issues, recruit research participants and finally share research findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, the research must benefit the vulnerable participants&nbsp;and researchers need to be mindful of their impact on participants at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research Event &#8211; Studying Vulnerable Populations Download presentation slides Register to get updates about CRIW&#8217;s research events and other activities Event Date: January 20, 2020 Panelist: Event Summary: Navigating ethical implications of studying vulnerable populations, while finding ways to benefit participants can be daunting.
