If I were to choose a vulnerable population to study I would have to say special needs moms. I say this because I would want to know who they themselves receive care to help them be parents. Do they get constant check-ins with counselors, nurses to make sure they are caring for the baby, answer any questions. The ethical considerations that you would have to look into are because anyone can have a baby, but who do we help them safely and financially care for the child. Just because they have special needs doesn’t mean they can’t have a kid there just needs to be programmed to help them.
Discussion Two-
Vulnerable populations must be especially protected when you are involving them in research studies. Informed consent requires the researcher to provide information about the research they are volunteering for, which includes the benefits of the research, the risks of being involved in the research, guarantee of confidence, assurance that participant can leave at any time, among other things (Creswell & Creswell, 2018, p. 91). In getting informed consent, researchers should make sure that there is clear understanding – including interpreting the study information into other languages, and providing interpreters along the way through the study. One part that should be very clear is to make sure that participants know they can leave the study – thus reducing the feeling of being coerced into continuing when they are uncomfortable.
