02 - The Seven Step Method: A Method for Analysing Cases in Research Ethics and Research Integrity

Instructions for:TraineeTrainer
Goal
Case analysis methods are valuable tools in exploring ethical questions and dilemmas.
Duration (hours)
2
1
1. State problem.

For example, “there’s something about this decision that makes me uncomfortable” or “do I have a conflict of interest?”

2
2. Check facts

Many problems disappear upon closer examination of the situation, while others change radically.

3
3. Identify relevant factors

For example, persons involved, laws, professional codes, and other practical constraints.

4
4. Develop a list of options

Be imaginative, try to avoid “dilemma”; not “yes” or “no” but whom to go to, what to say.

5
5. Test options

1.     Employ one or more of the following tests:

·      Harm test: does this option do less harm than alternatives?

·      Publicity test: would I want my decision published in the newspaper?

·      Defensibility test: could I defend my choice before a committee?

·      Reversibility test: would I still make my choice if I were adversely affected by it?

·      Colleague test: what are my colleagues’ responses to the options?

·      Professional test: what might my profession’s governing body or ethics committee say about my choice?

·      Organization test: what does the company’s ethics officer or legal counsel say about my choice?

6
6. Make a choice

All things considered, make a choice.

7
7. Review steps 1–6.

·      Are there any precautions you can take?

·      Is there any way to access more support next time?

·      Is there any way to change the organization (for example, suggest policy changes at next departmental meeting)?
