Review ethical principles learned this week and how they are applied in research studies. 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 in which you:
Summarize the research study.
Identify possible ethical issues within the research study (remember, focus on the methods used in the study, not ethical issues of the health problem).
Explain how ethical concerns can influence the research outcomes.
Define validity and what it means for healthcare research studies.
Hint: Review previous learning activities for key validity concepts, including internal and external validity and associated threats to validity.
Discuss the importance of research design validity and how research bias can impact validity.
Hint: Research how design validity and instrumentation validity are different concepts.
Discuss how stakeholders can externally influence health care research and include possible ethical concerns with their influence.
Three peer-reviewed or scholarly references and in-text citations are required.
Format your paper and references according to APA guidelines.
