001973 p.000300: 001183 p.000028: implicit coercion (see below) so that prospective participants can make an informed and free decision on their possible
001974 p.000300: 001184 p.000028: involvement. Information should be provided in a form that is comprehensible and accessible to participants, typically
001975 p.000300: 001185 p.000028: in written form (or in a form that participants can access after the end of the research interaction), and time should

002077 p.000300: 001136 p.000027: science research has a critical role to play in exploring and questioning social, cultural and economic structures and

003567 p.000300: 001074 p.000026: Proposals should be considered in the context of the risks of the project. Ethics scrutiny should be proportionate to
003568 p.000300: 001075 p.000026: the level of risk and appetite for risk in the specific context of the research proposed and its potential benefits.
003569 p.000300: 001076 p.000026: Risk is often defined by reference to the potential physical or psychologicalharm, discomfort, stress or reputational
003570 p.000300: 001077 p.000026: risk to human participants (and participating groups, organisations and funders) that a research project might
003571 p.000300: 001078 p.000026: generate. This is especially pertinent in the context of health-related research. But, in addition, social science
003572 p.000300: 001079 p.000026: raises a wider range of risks that needs to be considered by RECs. These include risk to a participantâ€™s personal
003573 p.000300: 001080 p.000026: social standing, privacy, personal values and beliefs, their links tofamily and the wider community, and their

003575 p.000300: 001082 p.000026: sexual or deviant behaviour. Research, though it may carry no physical risk, can be disruptive and damaging to

003587 p.000300: 001095 p.000026: Research projects that involve researchers from more than one discipline can include further risk, especially where the
003588 p.000300: 001096 p.000026: research team includes researchers from non-social science areas or non-academic research organisations. For
003589 p.000300: example,
003590 p.000300: 001097 p.000026: social science researchers working with medical researchers who undertake qualitative research as part of a
003591 p.000300: 001098 p.000026: non-clinical trial should be aware of potential risks when working in interdisciplinary research. The form of vigilance
003592 p.000300: 001099 p.000026: required for the management of physical risk used in medical or biomedical research is inappropriate for the
003593 p.000300: management
003594 p.000300: 001100 p.000026: of the social risks that may be present in social science research. RECs should provide guidance and advice to

003604 p.000300: 001133 p.000027: (http://www.pre.ethics.gc.ca/English/policystatement/introduction.cfm)) research may be â€˜deliberately and
003605 p.000300: legitimately
003606 p.000300: 001134 p.000027: opposed to the interests of the research participants or organisationsâ€™ in cases where the objectives of the
003607 p.000300: research
003608 p.000300: 001135 p.000027: are to reveal and critique fundamental economic, political or cultural disadvantage or exploitation. Much social
003609 p.000300: 001136 p.000027: science research has a critical role to play in exploring and questioning social, cultural and economic structures and
003610 p.000300: 001137 p.000027: processes (for example relating to patterns of power and social inequality, and institutional dynamics and regimes that
003611 p.000300: 001138 p.000027: disadvantage some social groups over others, intentionally or not). Such research results may have a negative impact
003612 p.000300: on
003613 p.000300: 001139 p.000027: some of the research participants/organisations. Principles of justice should, however, mean that researchers would
003614 p.000300: 001140 p.000027: seek to minimise any personal harm to individuals. Secondly, researchers should also consider how to balance the
