Question 1
Identification of Vulnerable Population that Require Legal or Ethical Research
Considerations
This article mainly focuses on the homeless youths in North America, who need legal
and ethical research considerations. With the help of a web based questionnaire, the social
service providers as well as health care providers, researchers and program administrators
have surveyed on 120 individuals. Amongst them, 72 homeless youths completed that survey
(Ensign & Ammerman, 2008). The research team even included few minor individuals to
complete their survey. These homeless youth people are extremely larger as well as
marginalized sub population, who are experiencing homelessness in North America for
several different reasons. The homeless individuals were found in every major urban area of
the country.
