The Ethics of Public Health Research on Less Expensive, Less Effective Interventions
What is this about?
The Kennedy Krieger lead paint study stirred controversial questions about whether research designed to develop less expensive interventions that are not as effective as existing treatments can be ethically warranted[1]. This is a factual case.

Critics questioned the social value of such research and alleged that it sanctions a double standard, exploits participants, and is complicit in perpetuating the social injustice[1].
