  • Water purification by semiconductor photocatalysis
    Chemical Society Reviews, 1993
    Co-Authors: Andrew Mills, Richard H. Davies, David Worsley
    Abstract:

    A review with 32 refs. The purifn. of water by semiconductor photocatalysis is a rapidly growing area of interest to both Research Workers and water purifn. companies. In this process, invariably, the pollutant is org. and the semiconductor is TiO2. The range of org. pollutants which can be completely photomineralized by oxygen, using TiO2 as the sensitizer, is extensive and includes many aliphatics, aroms., detergents, dyes, pesticides, and herbicides.

  • Misbehaviors of front-line Research personnel and the integrity of community-based Research.
    Journal of Empirical Research on Human Research Ethics, 2020
    Co-Authors: Gala True, Leslie B. Alexander, Kenneth A. Richman
    Abstract:

    There has been little empirical Research into misconduct and misbehavior among community Research Workers who recruit and collect data in vulnerable and marginalized health populations and are also members of those same communities. We conducted qualitative interviews with community Research Workers and traditional Research assistants to understand the context and consequences of misbehaviors that pose a threat to Research ethics and data integrity. In our sample, more community Research Workers acknowledged engaging in Research wrongdoing than did traditional Research assistants. These behaviors were most prevalent among community Research Workers who were not well-integrated into the Research team. We suggest best practices for investigators to promote an environment that supports Research integrity in Research projects that employ community Research Workers.

  • How Do Street-Level Research Workers Think About the Ethics of Doing Research “On the Ground” With Marginalized Target Populations?
    AJOB empirical bioethics, 2014
    Co-Authors: Kenneth A. Richman, Leslie B. Alexander, Gala True
    Abstract:

    Background: Recent Research suggests that street-level Research Workers face ethical issues in the responsible conduct of Research that are outside the scope of principal investigators’ experiences and concerns. This is particularly true of community Research Workers (CRWs), who come to their Research work with significant connections to the community being studied. CRWs face additional or different ethical issues compared with traditional Research assistants (TRAs), who perform the same kinds of Research tasks with similar marginalized populations as CRWs but do not share the same close community ties with Research participants. This article presents data from interviews with street-level Research Workers in a major U.S. metropolitan area, exploring differences and similarities in how CRWs and TRAs conceive of and talk about ethics in Research. Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted with street-level Research Workers, both CRWs and TRAs, who worked for studies on a variety of health issues, includin...

  • Proximity, Ethical Dilemmas, and Community Research Workers
    Ajob Primary Research, 2012
    Co-Authors: Kenneth A. Richman, Leslie B. Alexander, Gala True
    Abstract:

    Background: In community-engaged Research (CEnR), recruitment and data collection are often assigned to community Research Workers (CRWs). CRWs are hired because of close ties with target communities and presumed greater success recruiting and gathering data from marginalized populations. The value conflicts and personal stress facing CRWs have been described in the international context; however, less attention has been paid to these issues in U.S. settings. Methods: Qualitative interviews were held with CRWs about their experiences with CEnR. Interviews were transcribed and coded using Atlas.ti. Results: The data indicate that CRWs working in settings controlled by the participants, such as neighborhood streets and participant homes, are more likely to face conflicts between following the norms of Research and meeting what they perceive to be their everyday obligations to help specific others (duties of relational ethics) and to keep themselves safe. This suggests that “physical proximity” (understood a...
