Research on SRE (Sex and Relationships education)

Bianca

Hi

My name is Bianca and I am a 3rd year BSc Psychology student at University of Southampton. I have been working for hampshire Autistic Society for about 1 year as a support worker for teenagers and young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

I am very passionate about ASD and I have decided to dedicate my final year research project on this. My research proposal has been approved by the University ethics commitee and so it is regarding staff's attitudes on Sex and Relationship Education for teenagers and young people with ASD. 

I am currently recruiting participants and I would very much appreciate your participation. I can send you the questions in advance and you can have a look and then decide if it would be ok to participate.

It only takes about half an hour and, due to ethics reasons, you will not mention anybody's name. Also, all information will be kept confidential and presented anonymised.

Please let me know if you would like to take part, as I would be extrenely grateful of your precious time. If you have any questions or would like to take part please email me at [removed by moderator].

Thank you so much

Bianca

  • We keep getting these posts from undergraduates about research projects. None of them seem to have read the community rules, or to understand the importance of getting appropriate permission when recruiting subjects for a research project (not just NAS permission to post here, but informed consent from subjects who may not realise what importance, or lack thereof, the research project they are participating in has).

    More importantly there seems to be a big failing in Universities in their teaching. I have several degrees in this field and one thing we were taught was that you had to make sure your subject base was valid for your research.

    How are these undergraduates going to know if someone has an autistic spectrum condition or is just saying they do. If the researcher has not validated their subject base their research is void. The fact that these are undergraduate research projects that will not be published is irrelevant, it is the point of teaching to make sure that the researchers of the future are aware of all the necessary steps to make sure the research is valid.

    Worse still would be that this is part of a larger project based at a particular department and might be part of a published study.

    Ethics is not just about keeping subjects anonymous.
