Are there any points of vulnerability in your population? These might include minors; the elderly; pregnant women; low-income persons; minority groups or persons who face persecution, discrimination, or prejudice; persons who may have concerns of being exploited or legally reprimanded (illegal immigrants, for example); and non-English speakers. Remember, your study population is not just your participants (who are representatives of your entire study population or community). In the Vulnerability Graphic Organizer (at the end of the chapter), identify up to two points of vulnerability in your population and how you will address potential ethical dilemmas or risks to your participants arising from that specific vulnerability.

(Use the worksheet at the end of the chapter to complete this problem.)
