    An Office on Main Street Health Care Dilemmas in Small Communities.Laura Weiss Roberts, John Battaglia, Margaret Smithpeter & Richard S. Epstein - 1999 - Hastings Center Report 29 (4):28-37.
    The health care needs of rural populations often differ from those of their urban counterparts. And the ethical dilemmas that caregivers face are distinctively shaped in rural settings, not only by resource constraints, but by the nature of life in small, close-knit communities as well.

    Ethics and culture in mental health care.Jinger G. Hoop, Tony DiPasquale, Juan M. Hernandez & Laura Weiss Roberts - 2008 - Ethics and Behavior 18 (4):353 – 372.
    This article examines the complex relationship between culture, values, and ethics in mental health care. Cultural competence is a practical, concrete demonstration of the ethical principles of respect for persons, beneficence (doing good), nonmaleficence (not doing harm), and justice (treating people fairly)—the cornerstones of modern ethical codes for the health professions. Five clinical cases are presented to illustrate the range of ethical issues faced by mental health clinicians working in a multicultural environment, including issues of therapeutic boundaries, diagnosis, treatment choice, (...)

    Influences Upon Willingness to Participate in Schizophrenia Research: An Analysis of Narrative Data From 63 People With Schizophrenia.Janet L. Brody, Laura Weiss Roberts & Alexis Kaminsky - 2003 - Ethics and Behavior 13 (3):279-302.
    Schizophrenia affects more than 1% of the world's population, causing great personal suffering and socioeconomic burden. These costs associated with schizophrenia necessitate inquiry into the causes and treatment of the illness but generate ethical challenges related to the specific nature and deficits of the illness itself. In this article, we present a systematic analysis of narrative data from 63 people living with the illness of schizophrenia collected through semistructured interviews about their attitudes, beliefs, and experiences related to psychiatric research. In (...)

    “A Feeling that You’re Helping”: Proxy Decision Making for Alzheimer’s Research.Laura B. Dunn, Jinger G. Hoop, Sahana Misra, Stephanie R. Fisher & Laura Weiss Roberts - 2011 - Narrative Inquiry in Bioethics 1 (2):107-122.
    Surrogate (proxy) decision makers must make research decisions for people with dementia who lack decision-making capacity. Proxies’ decision-making processes are minimally understood. We randomly assigned 82 proxies of AD patients to informed consent for one of three hypothetical protocols with differing levels of risk and benefit. Proxies answered questions about potential benefits of the described research to the patient and society, as well as about whether they would enroll their relative and why or why not. Proxies interested in enrolling their (...)

    Community-Based Participatory Research for Improved Mental Health.Laura Weiss Roberts, Catherine Bruss, Christiane Brems, Mark E. Johnson, Sarah Dewane & Jane Smikowski - 2009 - Ethics and Behavior 19 (6):461-478.
    Community-based participatory research (CBPR) focuses on specific community needs, and produces results that directly address those needs. Although conducting ethical CBPR is critical to its success, few academic programs include this training in their curricula. This article describes the development and evaluation of an online training course designed to increase the use of CBPR in mental health disciplines. Developed using a participatory approach involving a community of experts, this course challenges traditional research by introducing a collaborative process meant to encourage (...)

    Demonstrating Patterns in the Views of Stakeholders Regarding Ethically Salient Issues in Clinical Research: A Novel Use of Graphical Models in Empirical Ethics Inquiry.Jane Paik Kim & Laura Weiss Roberts - 2015 - AJOB Empirical Bioethics 6 (2):33-42.
    Background: Empirical ethics inquiry works from the notion that stakeholder perspectives are necessary for gauging the ethical acceptability of human studies and assuring that research aligns with societal expectations. Although common, studies involving different populations often entail comparisons of trends that problematize the interpretation of results. Using graphical model selection—a technique aimed at transcending limitations of conventional methods—this report presents data on the ethics of clinical research with two objectives: (1) to display the patterns of views held by ill and (...)

    Factors Influencing Perceived Helpfulness and Participation in Innovative Research:A Pilot Study of Individuals with and without Mood Symptoms.Jane Paik Kim, Tenzin Tsungmey, Maryam Rostami, Sangeeta Mondal, Max Kasun & Laura Weiss Roberts - 2022 - Ethics and Behavior 32 (7):601-617.
    Little is known about how individuals with and without mood disorders perceive the inherent risks and helpfulness of participating in innovative psychiatric research, or about the factors that influence their willingness to participate. We conducted an online survey with 80 individuals (self-reported mood disorder [n = 25], self-reported good health [n = 55]) recruited via MTurk. We assessed respondents’ perceptions of risk and helpfulness in study vignettes associated with two innovative research projects (intravenous ketamine therapy and wearable devices), as well (...)

    Investigators' affirmation of ethical, safeguard, and scientific commitments in human research.Laura Weiss Roberts & Timothy L. McAuliffe - 2006 - Ethics and Behavior 16 (2):135 – 150.
    Little is known about how researchers view ethically salient aspects of human studies. As part of a National Institutes of Mental Health-funded study, the authors performed a confidential written survey to assess the attitudes, views, and experiences of researchers with institutional review board approved protocols at the University of New Mexico. A total of 363 researchers (57% response rate) participated. Investigators overall held favorable views of general ethical aspects of research and ethics-based safeguards, and they identified a positive role of (...)

    Psychiatry Residents' Attitudes on Ethics and Professionalism: Multisite Survey Results.Laura Weiss Roberts, Laura B. Dunn, Jinger G. Hoop & Shaili Jain - 2010 - Ethics and Behavior 20 (1):10-20.
    Recent studies show that psychiatry residents express a relatively greater need for ethics curricula than their colleagues in other specialties. Such studies have been limited in their generalizability because they were conducted at one site. This study of 151 psychiatry residents at seven U.S. psychiatry programs aims to address that limitation. Residents were surveyed on issues pertaining to ethics and professionalism education. Participants were found to support such curricula during training and to value its relevance to the practice of psychiatry. (...)

    Shaping medical students' attitudes toward ethically important aspects of clinical research: Results of a randomized, controlled educational intervention.Laura Weiss Roberts, Teddy D. Warner, Laura B. Dunn, Janet L. Brody, Katherine Green Hammond & Brian B. Roberts - 2007 - Ethics and Behavior 17 (1):19 – 50.
    The effects of research ethics training on medical students' attitudes about clinical research are examined. A preliminary randomized controlled trial evaluated 2 didactic approaches to ethics training compared to a no-intervention control. The participant-oriented intervention emphasized subjective experiences of research participants (empathy focused). The criteria-oriented intervention emphasized specific ethical criteria for analyzing protocols (analytic focused). Compared to controls, those in the participant-oriented intervention group exhibited greater attunement to research participants' attitudes related to altruism, trust, quality of relationships with researchers, desire (...)
