Ethics in Research01:56

Ethics in Research

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.
Archival Research01:40

Archival Research

Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...
Naturalistic Observations02:30

Naturalistic Observations

If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...
Case Studies01:22

Case Studies

There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.

Summary

Researching offender health in prisons is crucial due to high health disparities. This paper details navigating the unique challenges and regulatory processes for qualitative research within correctional facilities.

Area of Science:

  • Correctional healthcare research
  • Offender health disparities
  • Prisoner well-being studies

Background:

  • Prison populations exhibit higher physical and mental health issues than the general public.
  • Existing health services aim to mitigate these disparities within correctional settings.
  • The unique prison environment presents both opportunities and significant challenges for health research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an 'insider's' perspective on conducting qualitative research in prisons.
  • To outline the process of establishing a research project within a correctional facility.
  • To detail the steps involved in obtaining necessary approvals and support for offender health research.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative research methodology.
