Revealing the Recruitment Process - Part 1

This is Part 1 of Revealing the Recruitment Process, the first course in the Navigating the Ethical Landscape for Researchers Training Series. You need to complete Part 1 from start to finish before you can begin Part 2.

Do you have at least 45-minutes to complete each Part of this course? Progress in the course cannot be bookmarked or saved. You will receive an email upon completion of this course.

We have developed this training course to provide education for individuals engaging in human-participant research to ensure that those with the privilege of conducting this work understand fully what is expected of them to fulfil their ethical obligations.

Learning outcomes

Upon completion of this course learners will be able to:

  • Recognize the 2 phases of the recruitment process included in research participant recruitment with respect to the TCPS 2 upholding research participants' autonomy throughout the research recruitment process.
  • Ascertain the initial point of contact and approach to engage with potential research participants about participating in a research study in line with the 3 core principles of the TCPS 2.
  • Distinguish when a power imbalance exists within the recruitment process and select ways to eliminate or minimize to recruit participants without pressure or manipulation.
