A re-examination of the relationship between action research and human subjects review processes

In this brief article, we review the history of the human subjects review process and identify key aspects of that review as they relate to action research. In particular, we examine the issues of coercion, predictability, confidentiality, and risk –concerns central to the criteria used in current review processes but reflecting fundamental differences in the basic conceptualization of ethical practice as this is understood in action research.

Key Words: action research • human subjects • institutional review board (IRB) • research ethics
