Research ethics boards (REBs) have traditionally been required to evaluate quantitative research proposals. They are, however, increasingly facing the need to evaluate the ethical implications of proposals involving qualitative research. This article discusses one form of qualitative research, ethnography, in light of possible ethical concerns. It suggests ways in which ethical issues may be addressed, and provides examples drawn from an ethnographic study of adolescent girls' health concerns in their dating relationships. Recommendations for REBs are included.
传统上，研究伦理委员会（REBs）需要评估定量研究提案。然而，他们越来越需要评估涉及定性研究的提案的伦理影响。本文根据可能存在的伦理问题，讨论了一种定性研究形式——民族志。它提出了处理伦理问题的方法，并提供了一些实例，这些实例来自于一项关于少女恋爱关系中健康问题的民族志研究。文中还包括了对研究伦理委员会的建议。
