Document Summary
* the word ethics comes from the greek word ethos which refers to a moral custom and is used among other ways to identify a set of principles on what is right or wrong. * when applied to research, ethics are the concerns, dilemma and conflicts that arise over the proper way to conduct research (neuman and kreuger, 2003, p. 98). * any organization such as universities, hospitals, school boards, government institutions and social service organizations conducting research involving human participants must undergo an ethical review process. * with the passing of the national research act in 1974, this has become a legal requirement in the united states. * while not yet a legal requirement in canada, larger organizations including hospitals, school boards and universities have established research ethics boards (rebs). * in canada, the canadian association of social workers (casw) has also established ethical principles concerning research.
