All participants in research are vulnerable to some extent. Survivors of trauma are often sought as participants for research studies and may be at an increased risk of emotional or psychological distress as a result of research participation. Scientists need to pay careful attention to issues of informed consent and the potential harm and benefits from research participation. This article explores challenges of selecting a sample, informed consent, and study continuation when conducting research with survivors of trauma.
所有参与研究的人员在某种程度上都是易受伤害的。创伤幸存者常常被招募为研究对象，而参与研究可能会增加他们出现情绪或心理困扰的风险。科学家需要密切关注知情同意问题以及参与研究可能带来的潜在危害和益处。本文探讨了在对创伤幸存者进行研究时，样本选择、知情同意和研究延续方面所面临的挑战。
