would you view the findings of a research study differently if they used a vulnerable population why and why not

Answer 1

The vulnerable population has a higher risk for negative outcomes so that for research study they have less capacity to give consent. For research study we need to decide the population for study aim, results, considering important factors.. vulnerable people need more protection for their risk participating in research, they have less ability to give consent and they need special legal protection. It needs special protection for participation. Institutional Review board analyzes the study when vulnerable people involved in the research.
The vulnerable population needs special protection form risk when they involve in research. research finding will be different and bias against research make inactive research. Due to lack of knowledge, vulnerability, language, cultural barrier and fear and lack of confidence from vulnerable populations make the research results differently.
