C05 - [IN-PERSON ONLY] Avoiding “Research Tourism”: Considerations for IRB Review of Research with Unhoused Participants

Sunday, December 3, 2023
3:30 PM – 4:30 PM ET
Location: Room 158 AB
Human Subjects Research Deep Dive Series CIP Accredited
This session is being held in-person only at SBER23. It will not be recorded for on-demand access or for the PRIMR23/SBER23 Virtual Meeting.

Special situations, challenges, and considerations arise when an IRB reviews research that includes unhoused populations. These may include questions such as, “Is the compensation scheme reasonable?”, “Will follow-up contact be feasible?”, “What are the qualifications of the researcher to work with this population?”, “Is this a research question that the study population is genuinely interested in answering?”, or “Is this a population of convenience due to their visibility?” This session aims to discuss these issues to help HRPPs/IRBs ensure they have the resources to provide this group of participants with adequate protections.

Learning Objectives:

  • Expand awareness of special issues to consider when reviewing research with unhoused populations, including ethical and/or legal obligations/duties to report, which vary by state/country
  • Discuss ways to enhance the protection of these participants and assess which research methodologies are appropriate
  • Review considerations for fair compensation for unhoused participants
