QRM Ethics in research case 3 and 4 by Roos Scheffers https://padlet.com/roosscheffers/fhb0ae9jyjc8j1ug discussion of cases en-us 2020-10-08 06:41:12 UTC 2020-10-09 16:01:45 UTC hello@padlet.com Obtaining data roosscheffers https://padlet.com/roosscheffers/fhb0ae9jyjc8j1ug/wish/812880091
Laud Humphrey did a study of sexual contacts between men in public toilets. These men use a “watch queen” who watches for security or police while others engage in public sex.
Humphrey adopted the role of “watch queen” without telling the men he was doing research. 

He wrote down the license plate numbers of 50 men and tracked down the addresses of these men with the police. He told the police he needed these data for marketing research.

Not long afterwards, Humphrey took part in a survey on health. He asked for permission to add respondents (the 50 men from his earlier research) to the list of selected people. 
In order not to be recognised, Humphrey waited a year before approaching these men and changed his car and the way he looked. From the survey, it turned out that these men were often married and led normal lives.

The research greatly contributed to a better understanding about who these men are.

 She has been vaccinated but cannot get the people to go to the hospital to get vaccinated by Western doctors. Their way of coping with it is to banish a person from the tribe as soon as a person contracts smallpox. If Bohannon goes after the banished man to give him food and returns without having smallpox she will be considered a witch. This will mean she can no longer study these people effectively. Would you stay in the tribe or go help the man?
