Describe historical examples of unethical research, such as a study of syphilis among African-American men in which treatment was withheld and a study in which live cancer cells were injected into elderly patients. Today, stricter controls that seek to protect study participants are placed on researchers, but breaches still occur. Careful attention must be given toward preventing unethical behavior. In this Discussion, you explore ethical considerations and issues in research.

Regina , it is nice the way you explained how statitics can be used to misrepresent data in advertising but also i can add that graphs that are ambiguous or cluttered do not allow clear interpretation of results, which increase chances of misrepresentation. Absence of labels, scales, and data elements also increase errors in data representation and mislead the reader (Brotton et al., 2010). A typical example of data misrepresentation is the one commonly observed during promotional activities of a new drug into the market. Often, it could be observed that the clinical trials performed and results obtained on the use/significance of the medicine are unnecessarily augmented to highlight quality or effectiveness of the medicine. However, the medicine may be less effective or might contain adverse side effects that the researchers or company are aware, which is never mentioned in reality. In some situations, pie charts, the most easily understandable graphics, are used to represent results in studies conducted with incomplete data or missing variables (Pavlovich-Danis, 2012). I NEED THAT YOU COMMENT FROM THIS POST, NO MORE THAN 150 WORDS NEEDED AND A REFERENCE PLEASE
