When research partners disagree about the ethics of their public health study

My research partner and I have been collecting data on vaccine hesitancy in rural communities for eight months and we keep having the same argument about whether we're actually helping these people or just treating them like subjects to study. We both care about the work but I think we've stopped being honest about what we're seeing because it doesn't fit our original hypothesis.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two researchers are discovering their shared assumptions about their work's value are breaking down under the weight of actual human complexity.
