| description |
In this paper, we examine the implementation and difficulties when conducting
genetics research in a rural, traditional West African culture within the frame
of the United States’ grounded research ethics. Research challenges are
highlighted by Western researchers following U.S. Institutional Review Board
(IRB) guidelines and practices in a non-Western country. IRB concepts are
culture bound in Western ideals that may not have synchronicity and
compatibility with non-Western cultures. Differences in sociocultural norms,
traditions, language, and geography were influencing factors that can affect
application of IRB principles. Suggestions for change are offered, which will
potentially aid researchers considering application of IRB requirements when
conducting research in non-Westernized, non-industrialized countries. |
