In the Lacey et al. (2011) article, the authors describe how survey sites were set up: “Upon arrival at a site, team setup was facilitated by the survey manager’s earlier sketches of the site. Interviewers set up bays demarcated with orange traffic cones . . . Interviewers wore uniforms (khaki pants, white shirts, white lab coats, reflective safety vests, and reflective “Research Team” hats).” (328) What ethical principle does this strict setup procedure best represent?
a. researchers should fully disclose their identity
b. anonymity or confidentiality
c. benefits should outweigh forseeable risks
d. research should cause no harm
e. participation in research should be voluntary
