Community Engagement: Ethical Challenges and Approaches

Community Engagement: Ethical Challenges and Approaches

Introduction:

On October 16th, 2023, Dr. Mary Ott, MD, MA, gave a TREATs talk on the 8 ethical considerations for community engagement in research. They are: Who is the community? Has the community been consulted? Is this an equal partnership? Does your project build capacity and sustainability? What is your IRB community representation and input? What are the risks to the community? How will results be returned to the community? What if results are unflattering/unfavorable?
