Week 4.2_PHCM9132_Applied Research Methods for Public Health by UNSW Medicine & Health https://padlet.com/unswmedicineandhealth/methods_week4_2 Week 4_Part2 en-us 2021-10-06 10:17:40 UTC 2022-01-16 23:34:55 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f600.png TASK: For each of the scenarios below discuss and respond to the following questions: unswmedicineandhealth https://padlet.com/unswmedicineandhealth/methods_week4_2/wish/1795994008 1)     What would be the most relevant rigour concepts for this scenario? Consider what may be most appropriate and relevant as it is not possible or even warranted to demonstrate all rigour concepts in the same study. What strategies would you use to ensure these rigour concepts are incorporated?

2)     What would be the most important ethical issues to consider for this scenario? Consider different stages of your research: designing the research, data collection, reporting of the findings.

Research aim: Understand the culture of injecting drug use among the prison population in NSW. 

Research questions:
1.     What are the injecting behaviours practiced by inmates in NSW prisons?

2.     What is the culture of injecting among different groups within the NSW prisons?

Research aim: Explore the lived experiences of people who have been infected with HIV through injecting drug use while incarcerated in a NSW prison and what living with HIV means to them. 

Research questions:

1.     What are the experiences of people in contracting an HIV infection during their incarceration?
2.     What are the experiences of HIV infected people who are serving their sentence in NSW prisons?

An important ethical consideration is confidentiality and anonymity of the participant.  In the design stage, they are vulnerable population, which we would need permission from the Corrections Dept to gain access.  

During data collection (interviews, focus groups, observation) need to feel safe to disclose information, which rapport will need to be built to gain their trust.  

Reporting of the findings, should there be any information (guards selling drugs) this needs to be reported. Think about the role of whistleblower or user (what is their position) and how the results will impact on them. However, that should not affect or withhold the report of our findings. ]]> 2021-10-06 22:37:22 UTC https://padlet.com/unswmedicineandhealth/methods_week4_2/wish/1797927939
