This paper describes how to ethically conduct research with Black populations at the intersection of COVID-19 and the Black Lives Matter movement. We highlight the issues of historical mistrust in the USA and how this may impact Black populations' participation in COVID-19 vaccination trials. We provide recommendations for researchers to ethically engage Black populations in research considering the current context. Our recommendations include understanding the impact of ongoing trauma, acknowledging historical context, ensuring diverse research teams and engaging in open and honest conversations with Black populations to better address their needs. The core of our recommendation is recognising the impact of trauma in our research and health care practices.
本文描述了如何在新冠疫情与“黑人的命也是命”运动的交叉点上，以符合伦理道德的方式对黑人人群开展研究。我们强调了美国历史上的不信任问题，以及这可能如何影响黑人人群参与新冠疫苗接种试验。考虑到当前背景，我们为研究人员在伦理道德方面让黑人人群参与研究提供了建议。我们的建议包括了解持续创伤的影响、承认历史背景、确保研究团队多元化，以及与黑人人群进行开放和坦诚的对话，以更好地满足他们的需求。我们建议的核心是认识到创伤在我们的研究和医疗实践中的影响。
