Abstract
When studying a population in a vulnerable condition and with limited rights, several questions must be raised, in particular questions pertaining to ethics. This brief discusses the incompatibility of certain requirements by institutional ethics review committees, such as the written recording of consent, with the need to protect research participants’ identities. Following guidelines designed for research projects ‘in general’, may at times intimidate and jeopardize the safety of participants.
