Tuskegee Syphilis Study
The study conducted by Katz at al. (2008), about the willingness of people to participate in research following the Tuskegee syphilis study was conducted ethically. This study involved two different races and took information from three different states (Katz et al., 2008). This study did not involve just one race unlike the original Tuskegee syphilis study. The researcher of the article got institutional review boards (IRB) approval from both The University of Connecticut Health Center and New York University (Katz et al., 2008). The IRB purpose is to “ensure that the proposed plans meet federal requirements for ethical research” (Polit & Beck, 2017, p. 151). Having IRB approval is vital when conducting a research and plays a crucial role
in verifying that the research is being conducted ethically. One short fall of the article is that it only included two races, white and black; there were no other races that were involved in the study. From the original Tuskegee study having two races is more than the original study, however the researchers should have included other races to determine if the Tuskegee study affected the person’s willingness to participate in research. All in all the study of the patient’s willingness to participate in research following the Tuskegee syphilis study was conducted ethically.
