Abstract
Myriad ethical issues are inherent in applied research involving individuals with addictions. Formal guidance from governing bodies for research with this specific vulnerable population is needed; however, it is presently all but absent. The current paper highlights the interrelated issues of dual relationships, incentives/inducements, and informed consent that occur when this research is conducted. Given the varied nature of addiction in terms of severity and likelihood of relapse, a focus on the unique risk for each participant is recommended. It is advised that applied researchers be cognizant of these important ethical issues, develop protocols, and ensure that research assistants have appropriate training.
