Conducting or overseeing research in correctional settings requires knowledge of specific federal rules and regulations designed to protect the rights of individuals in incarceration. To investigate the extent to which relevant groups possess this knowledge, using a 10-item questionnaire, we surveyed 885 IRB prisoner representatives, IRB members and chairs with and without experience reviewing HIV/AIDS correctional protocols, and researchers with and without correctional HIV/AIDS research experience. Across all groups, respondents answered 4.5 of the items correctly. Individuals who have overseen or conducted correctional research had the highest scores; however, even these groups responded correctly only to slightly more than half of the items. These findings emphasize the need for ongoing training in federal guidelines governing correctional research, particularly for those individuals who are embarking on this type of research.
在惩教机构开展或监督研究需要了解专门为保护被监禁者权利而制定的联邦规则和条例。为了调查相关群体掌握这方面知识的程度,我们使用一份包含10个条目的问卷,对885名机构审查委员会(IRB)囚犯代表、有和没有审查过艾滋病毒/艾滋病惩教方案经验的IRB成员及主席,以及有和没有惩教艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究经验的研究人员进行了调查。在所有群体中,受访者平均正确回答了4.5个条目。曾监督或开展过惩教研究的个人得分最高;然而,即使是这些群体也仅正确回答了略多于一半的条目。这些发现强调了持续培训有关惩教研究的联邦指导方针的必要性,特别是对于那些刚开始进行此类研究的个人。
