This issue has come up very many times; search the listserv archives (e.g. http://www.google.com/search?q=ethical+concerns&x=15&y=13&sitesearch=listser...). Also, although it's recommended quite often, check out Markham and Baym's "Internet Inquiry." There is substantial weight given to the issue of ethical concerns in online research in some of the chapters there. On Fri, Jan 23, 2009 at 6:54 PM, Sarah Stewart <sarahstewart07@gmail.com>wrote:
Hi Alecea
I would be interested to hear what you learn. I am about to carry out a small project to audit health professionals' blogs & Twitter streams against a rubric of risk levels to see the risk of online communication to patient privacy/confidentiality. I will look at the AOIR ethics guidelines, bit I am keen to hear what others say about the ethical issues, including whether I have to get Ethics/IRB consent.
Thank you, Sarah
