#researchethics — Public Fediverse posts

@renebekkers.bsky.social Indeed.

Economist Abel Brodeur was leading a group of colleagues examining a survey-research study when they noticed something that stunned them. Its data set, available in a public repository, contained names of people who had admitted to crimes and identified their accomplices, information never provided to police. This broken promise of anonymity, it turns out, was far from an isolated case, according to a new study released last week.

The ethical challenges of banking genetic data

US human-subjects researchers: participant gender-related info is now extra sensitive.

Last summer I posted (linked below) about my (successful) quest for confidentiality guarantees from #WashU, and how we changed our screening questions to have pregnancy in an "any of the above" list, rather than separately.

Unfortunately, we now need to treat some gender and relationship-related data with the same heightened caution.
