Podcasts about ethical research

Today we are exploring an MJA supplement on ethics in health and medical research in relation to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It's called Murru Minya and I'm joined by two of the co-ordinating authors Felicity Collis, a Gomeroi woman and Associate Professor Michelle Kennedy a Wiradjuri woman. 

This bonus content is a reading from Platypus, the CASTAC Blog. The full post by Lea Happ can be read at https://blog.castac.org/2024/03/who-knows-about-ethical-research-reflections-on-research-ethics-and-vulnerability-in-abortion-research/. About the post: As a feminist researcher, I have found it at times difficult to navigate the complex nexus of agency and vulnerability. Ultimately, for me, doing feminist research means centring the particular circumstances of my research site and foregrounding the voices of those who draw their expertise from their life and work when determining methodological, ethical, and conceptual approaches.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Zoe: Hello, I am a newly graduated pharmacist with a passion for lifestyle medicine. I am also a nutrition coach for friends, family, and members of my church. I have several patients that ask for help with IBD symptoms. I was hoping you could do a review of which digestive enzymes are used to help patients experiencing diarrhea verses constipation? Are these products similar? Any Amazon brands that you might recommend? Thanks in advance, huge fan of your functional medicine podcasts. I'm hoping to have a future career in function medicine as well.    Jenna: Hey Dr. Cabral! Thank you for everything you do and for creating a truly helpful and transparent health and wellness community. My question is more of a career oriented one. I am graduating this upcoming summer and would like to pursue a career in research. I want to work for a place that conducts ethical and objective studies and was wondering if you had any insight into places with these values? I was thinking labs at Universities around the area would be my best bet. I know you may not be able to answer this question, but any information you can provide would be helpful in my job search. Thanks so much!   Simone: Hi Doctor Cabral, what are your thoughts on the at-home microcurrent facial devices? They allegedly improve and build the facial muscles, lift, and tighten the skin, as well as smooth the lines. Do you think this is true and do you feel that these results are long-lasting? Thanks so much in advance for your answer!   A.W: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for the work you do. I really appreciate your insights and am hoping you can help me. I suffer from PMDD. It's hard to describe the severity of the symptoms I experience every month, especially on the mental side - bone-crushing sadness with weeping spells, hopelessness, feelings of worthlessness and overwhelm, I relive all my worst regrets, extreme sensitivity, erratic thoughts, heightened anxiety and jumpiness, inability to concentrate...I could keep going. Suffice it to say it disrupts my life and has damaged relationships. Do you have any insights into this condition? I also wondered your thoughts on the supplement "Jublilance." Thank you.   Lisa: Hi doctor Cabral. I hope you're doing wonderful! I have a question about supplements and fasting. I always eat an early dinner (5pm at the latest) and fast for about 16 hours after. I've noticed that I wake up at 4am every night, and I feel it's due to low blood sugar. The best solution would be to eat something before bed, but I don't want to break my fast, which I mainly do for my gut health and autophagy. Are there any ways to keep my blood sugar stable throughout the night, without breaking the fast? With certain supplements that do not affect the fast? Thanks so much in advance for your answer, you are amazing! Lisa   Jason: I use oil of Olay on my face every day after I get out of the shower. Is there a better, safer alternative? My skin tends to be dry, and I also like the fact to provide some sun protection of 15 spf.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2578 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Early on in the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the majority of infected children were either asymptomatic or had mild COVID-19 disease, prompting many to demand a higher acceptable risk threshold for pediatric vaccines. More recently, as children begin to make up a larger proportion of the infected population and following evidence of the mental and physical toll exacted by the pandemic on children, a pediatric vaccine is now more pressing. But challenges to widespread vaccine uptake remain. In this episode meet Dr. Chulie Ulloa from the University of California Irvine about a recent commentary she wrote with fellow pediatric providers, physician scientists and advocates for children about these challenges and how they might be overcome.

Believe it or not, there is a pro-life movement in the heart of San Francisco! Considered by many to be the heart of the abortion industry, UCSF is the late-term abortion training capital of America. For years, the University of California San Francisco has been receiving a monthly supply of late-term aborted babies from elective abortions to harvest their organs for scientific experimentation. UCSF is the most politically involved medical institution on the issue of abortion in the world. With me today to discuss this MADNESS is Nick Reynosa, Director of Public Policy and Public Relations at the Society for Ethical Research and Robert Byrd, Executive Coordinator at Pro-Life San Francisco.

In this episode Bishop Strickland and Stacy Trasancos, PhD, talk with Dr. Alan Moy, research director for the John Paul II Medical Research Institute, about the Institute's effort to introduce a cell line entirely unconnected with abortion into the pharmaceutical market for the sake of the production of an ethically unambiguous vaccine against COVID-19.

In this episode, we will be talking about research ethics. We'll be speaking Fiona Ellis, co-founder of the Survivors in Transition (https://survivorsintransition.co.uk/), a Suffolk-based charity who support men and women who have experienced sexual abuse in childhood.

Praemium's Damian Cilmi talks to Marco Sepulveda of leading ESG research house Sustainalytics about their research process, trends in ethical research and a new screening criteria Praemium is implementing on their platform.

The question of ethics should always be front and centre when it comes to doing research of any kind. For Scott Neufeld and Nicolas Crier, they aim to take this question even further. In collaboration with other folks in the Downtown Eastside and Hives for Humanity, they co-authored Research 101: A Manifesto for Ethical Research in the Downtown Eastside to help facilitate a wider conversation on ethics in cultural production, such as research, media, and artmaking. On this episode of Below the Radar, host Am Johal talks to Scott and Nicolas about how this project came to be, the profound impact it has had for the community, and what’s at stake for ethical research in the Downtown Eastside. You can access a digital copy of Research 101: A Manifesto for Ethical Research in the Downtown Eastside here: http://bit.ly/R101Manifesto You can read more about the processes of developing the manifesto on our blog: http://sfuwce.org/empowering-informed-consent-community-ethics-in-cultural-production/

A number of ethical issues emerge from working with ‘over-researched’ and ‘under-researched’ refugee groups.

As humanitarian agencies increasingly follow the example of academia in establishing ethics review committees, one such agency reflects on the benefits and drawbacks.

The situation of the Carteret Islanders, often characterised as the first ‘climate change refugees’, has attracted much research interest. What is the impact of such interest? And are standard ethics compliance processes appropriate?

What moral principles guide our work? This issue debates many of the ethical questions that confront us in programming, research, safeguarding and volunteering, and in our use of data, new technologies, messaging and images. We each live according to our own personal code of ethics but what moral principles guide our work? The 19 feature theme articles in this issue debate many of the ethical questions that confront us in programming, research, safeguarding and volunteering, and in our use of data, new technologies, messaging and images. Prepare to be enlightened, unsettled and challenged. This issue is being published in tribute to Barbara Harrell-Bond, founder of the Refugee Studies Centre and FMR, who died in July 2018. In a special collection of articles in this issue, authors discuss the legacy of Barbara Harrell-Bond – the impact she had and its relevance for our work today. This issue of FMR will be available online and in print in English and Arabic: www.fmreview.org/ethics

Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside is amongst the most studied neighbourhood in the country. At any one time, there are dozens of research projects looking into the effects of drug use, poverty and other topics. Local residents donate a lot of time to assist researchers but often receive little or no benefit from their participation. Two local residents and a PhD student are among a group of people who have come up with a framework for ethical research in the Downtown Eastside. We speak with Samona Marsh, Nicolas Crier and Scott Neufeld.

In The Economization of Life (Duke University Press, 2017), Michelle Murphy pulls apart the late modern concept of “population” to show the lives this concept has produced and continues to produce, and, importantly, the lives it has failed to allow under the banner of postwar development projects. In the post-WWII period of decolonization, experts and state planners in the Global North tested in the real-world the hypotheses of Demographic Transition Theory (industrialization leads to few births which leads to “better” lives). In doing so, they repackaged the racist logic of earlier eugenicist definitions of population in the postwar period by harnessing the concept of population, not to environmental limits, but to economic optimization. Murphy show how this postwar “regime of valuation” played out on the ground through an extended study of population management and family planning projects in Bangladesh. Murphy’s work—which combines a new history of the population concept with an original study of lives lived (and not lived) in Bangladesh—demonstrates her broader point: namely that seemingly abstract, large scale elements of late-capitalist infrastructures of industrial production depend upon emotional, affective sensibilities about sex and reproduction. By telling a history of expert concepts of population, the infrastructures that perform it, the affects that pulse through it, and forms of life it continues to produce and prevent, Michelle Murphy invites readers to speculate towards other worlds—and other words. Murphy teaches us why population is an “intolerable concept” and she does the work of imagining other, more just, more apt words we might use in place of “population.” She suggests that her term “distributed reproduction” might help shift our attention, our thinking, and our practices towards more emancipatory collective responses and responsibilities—given our own existence as part of infrastructures of racism and violence. Laura Stark is Associate Professor at Vanderbilt University and is Associate Editor of the journal History & Theory. Laura’s first book, Behind Closed Doors: IRBs and the Making of Ethical Research, was published in 2012 by University of Chicago Press. Her current research explores how a market for healthy civilian “human subjects” emerged in law, science, and popular imagination in the post-World War Two period. It is based on a vernacular archive she created with more than 100 “normal control” research subjects and scientists who took part in postwar experiments at the US National Institutes of Health, now archived at Countway Library for the History of Medicine. Overall, Stark’s work uses social theory to map the intersections of science, morality and the modern state in a global context.       Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Murphy’s work—which combines a new history of the population concept with an original study of lives lived (and not lived) in Bangladesh—demonstrates her broader point: namely that seemingly abstract, large scale elements of late-capitalist infrastructures of industrial production depend upon emotional, affective sensibilities about sex and reproduction. By telling a history of expert concepts of population, the infrastructures that perform it, the affects that pulse through it, and forms of life it continues to produce and prevent, Michelle Murphy invites readers to speculate towards other worlds—and other words. Murphy teaches us why population is an “intolerable concept” and she does the work of imagining other, more just, more apt words we might use in place of “population.” She suggests that her term “distributed reproduction” might help shift our attention, our thinking, and our practices towards more emancipatory collective responses and responsibilities—given our own existence as part of infrastructures of racism and violence. Laura Stark is Associate Professor at Vanderbilt University and is Associate Editor of the journal History & Theory. Laura’s first book, Behind Closed Doors: IRBs and the Making of Ethical Research, was published in 2012 by University of Chicago Press. Her current research explores how a market for healthy civilian “human subjects” emerged in law, science, and popular imagination in the post-World War Two period. It is based on a vernacular archive she created with more than 100 “normal control” research subjects and scientists who took part in postwar experiments at the US National Institutes of Health, now archived at Countway Library for the History of Medicine. Overall, Stark’s work uses social theory to map the intersections of science, morality and the modern state in a global context.       Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In The Economization of Life (Duke University Press, 2017), Michelle Murphy pulls apart the late modern concept of “population” to show the lives this concept has produced and continues to produce, and, importantly, the lives it has failed to allow under the banner of postwar development projects. In the post-WWII period of decolonization, experts and state planners in the Global North tested in the real-world the hypotheses of Demographic Transition Theory (industrialization leads to few births which leads to “better” lives).

In this panel session from the 2013 PRIM&R Advancing Ethical Research Conference, we continue to look at the shifts and trends in social media use that impact the way we culturally perceive privacy and risk. The speaker is Dr. Joseph Konstan, a professor in the department of computer science and engineering at University of Minnesota who has conducted research in the field and also advises the IRB on data security and IT issues related to internet research.

Ethical research with children: Children’s rights to participation and protection in research

Laura Stark‘s lucid and engaging new book explores the making and enacting of the rules that govern human subjects research in the US. Using a thoughtfully conceived combination of ethnographic and archival work, Behind Closed Doors: IRBs and the Making of Ethical Research (University of Chicago Press, 2012) locates the emergence of a system of “governing with experts” by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) in the middle of the twentieth century. Stark shows how the features that now characterize the IRB deliberations that consider whether research on people can proceed in institutional contexts emerged in the particular context of the NIH Clinical Research Committee in 1950s and 1960s, and she explains how they managed to spread thereafter across the US and the globe. Behind Closed Doors draws from a wide and transdisciplinary set of methodological resources in articulating the power of performative language in shaping negotiations around human subjects research, suggesting innovative ways to read documentary evidence as a narrative of voices in time. True to its title, Stark’s story takes us behind the closed doors of occasionally heated IRB deliberations. It also introduces us to some of the spirited and disruptive “healthy patients” of the Clinical Center at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), prisoners and conscientious objectors among them, as they were dosed with LSD or infected with malaria and influenza, making a kind of home in the Center or cleverly escaping from it. It’s a wonderfully stimulating book that should be widely read and included on the syllabi of many graduate seminars to come. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
