Be sure to address each of the following ethical implications that may occur as you design your study.

 

  • Will participation be confidential or anonymous? What would you prefer if you were a participant of this study? Why?
  • How might the wording of your questions asked by your study affect your research?

  • What are the potential risks for research participants for participating in your study?
