Keeping the Humanity in Human Subjects: Prison Research and Ethics
Friday September 18, 2026 9:05am - 9:55am CDT
Trinity 2 Table 6 @ [email protected]
Incarcerated individuals with mental illness (IIMI)experience live with the well-documented double stigma of criminality and mental illness by mental health professionals. This stigma can bleed into research with IIMI, despite Human Subjects protections. Research design can address ethical risks early and set researchers up for success. An experienced prison researcher will discuss risks grounded in her 30 years' experience and provide resources for preventing errors that can cause problems.
