How can we not talk about OCAP? I just assumed that was what we were basing our research by. Actually when I first read OCAP I thought that most of it was obvious and common courtesy. Researchers who do not foolow basic rules like following up and asking consent are pretty bad researchers no matter who they are researching. For example, all those postings for psychology study participants we see at U of T, those researchers have to abide by ethics rules that are similar to OCAP. It is pretty sad that people researching aboriginal communities would not follow such basic rules. It makes a bad name for researchers in general. On the issue of who owns that information however, OCAP is ahead of the pack. In most jurisdictions in the West, unfortunately, people in general do not own information about themselves. Have you ever tried transfering your health records? You do not own your own health information.
