  • Ethical considerations for conducting sexual and reproductive health research with female adolescents engaged in high-risk behaviours in China

    2019, Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare
    Citation Excerpt :

    The implication of the legal and ethical context is that researchers may avoid conducting research with adolescent population because of anticipated or actual experiences with difficulties in obtaining IRB approval [9]. Consequently, adolescents as a class have often been excluded from participating in SRH research, and the potential benefits of other critical research in China [10]; let alone adolescents involved in high-risk behaviours, despite being the most in need [3,11,12]. The insufficient participation in such research can be a matter of justice to address disparities in health, education and protection; further the absence of data may lead to overestimating the true risks to subjects and unnecessary procedures from IRBs and policy makers.

  • An initial exploration of prostitution of boys in the West African region

    2017, Child Abuse and Neglect
    Citation Excerpt :

    Most participants reported receiving assistance from NGOs regarding awareness about risks linked to prostitution and access to condoms. This finding contradicts the literature that states that most children in prostitution have limited access to condoms and lack the ability to negotiate condom use (Lalor, 2004; McClure, Chandler, & Bissell, 2015; Willis & Levy, 2002; WHO, 2015). Yet, the finding that four of the 13 boys experienced STIs/STDs at least once appears to contradict the finding showing that 12 of the 13 respondents consistently used condoms with clients.
