Please respond to these questions using complete sentences and following the rules of good writing. One paragraph is required for each question. From 1936 to 1972, at least 17 articles were published in medical journals about the Tuskegee study. During all that time, no one raised objections to the study.

Do you think that there was a societal acceptance of the rationale for the experimentation on untreated black males? Explain. 2. Thinking about the meaning of “informed consent,†did that happen in this study? What would they have needed to do differently? 3.

Research, paraphrase, and cite just the link/URL to one such study. For example, in 2005, Prince William Co. conducted a Hispanic Needs Assessment to determine social determinants of health in this population, particularly as indicated by the presence of lack of social service and health resources. Post assessment, recommendations were made for programs and additional resources specifically targeted to benefit the growing Hispanic population. Thus, although a specific population was studied for this assessment, the intended outcome was to positively address the void in programs. http://www.pwchs.org/Docs/English_Report_Hispanic_Needs%20_Assessment_%20V30.pdf
