Webinar: (2020-01) Is This Public or Private? Determining Review Requirements for Research Conducted Online and In-Person



Determining whether a behavior or activity is considered “public” or “private”—whether online or in-person—poses ethical and operational dilemmas for IRBs and researchers. Expectations around the right to privacy and perceptions of public spaces or behaviors may differ among individuals and cultures. What factors help determine whether something is public or private? Do IRBs and researchers ever have an obligation to disclose that research is occurring in what some might consider the public domain? How can one determine whether such research requires full IRB review, is exempt, or whether it constitutes human subjects research to begin with? During this webinar, speakers will explore the ethical issues surrounding these questions as well as related IRB determinations, considerations, informed consent requirements, HRPP policies, and more. (Presented on January 16, 2020)
