1518 - Understanding the Revised Common Rule and ASA Code of Ethics – What Has Changed for Sociologists?

Session Submission Type: Workshop

Description

This workshop will review the recent changes to the Common Rule and the ASA Code of Ethics with a focus on their impacts on sociological research. The attendees will learn about the changes and discuss how the changes affect their research and the research of other sociologists. The goal is to provide sociologists with a better understanding of the changes so they can continue to conduct ethical research that meets the requirements of both the federal regulations and the ASA Code of Ethics.

The workshop will not cover all changes in the Common Rule or the Code of Ethics but focus on those that most affect sociological research.
