Unit 3 Discussion 2

Adhering to ethical principles and protection of human subjects are important considerations in all forms of research. After exploring your course resources, answer the following questions:

How stringent or similar should ethical principles be to the standards placed on the conduction of clinical and/or educational research?
Offer examples where controversy exists regarding application of ethical principles in evidence-based practice projects, best practices in education versus clinical research.
Be sure to address HIPAA and FERPA depending on your focus – clinical practice vs academic education.

Responses need to address all components of the question, demonstrate critical thinking and analysis, and include peer reviewed journal evidence to support the student’s position.

Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.
