Wk 4 Collaborative Discussion – Ethics and Validity in the Research Process

University of Phoenix

Due Thursday: Discussion Preparation

Individually, search the University Library for 1 peer-reviewed research study with possible ethical concerns. When you select your research study, consider the possible ethical issues in the research process, such as sampling, methodology, data collection, etc. Focus on the research study, not the health issue.

Share your selected research study with your group.

Read the research studies shared by the other group members to prepare for your discussion.

Note: You may use a research study you identified in a previous assignment, if appropriate. However, you may not use any article discussed in this group discussion for your Wk 5 – Summative Assessment: Ethical Scenario Presentation.

Due Monday: Discussion
Discuss the following with your group:

What are the possible ethical issues within the research studies?
How might ethical concerns influence the research outcomes of these research studies?
What is the research design validity and how can research bias can impact validity? (Hint: Research how design validity and instrumentation validity are different concepts.)
How can stakeholders externally influence health care research?
What conclusions can you draw about ethics and validity in the research process based on the research studies your group discussed?
