Australian Aboriginal people have been the most researched group on the continent to date (Martin & Mirraboopa, 2003) and human research ethical protocols have been further adapted from those developed alongside medical advances that used western and medical scientific models. Since the 1990s several reviews have sought to strengthen Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ethical research protocols (Dunbar & Scrimgeour, 2017). The result is that all research which includes Aboriginal participation requires a high-level, formal, ethical clearance in a process which is reviewed by an Indigenous HREC sub-committee, to ensure that Indigenous ethical concerns reflected in the national framework are addressed within the research design (Dunbar & Scrimgeour, 2017). The national ethical protocols seek to redress cultural dissonance in relation to the Aboriginal health sector (Dunbar & Scrimgeour, 2017; Martin & Mirraboopa, 2003), educational sector (Nakata, 2007; Nakata, Nakata, Keech, & Bolt, 2012), and in the legal interpretation of cultural and intellectual property (Janke, Pitt, & Herborn, 2013; Orr et al., 2009).

At this level research is likely to encounter culturally distinct and fine-grained diversity within community settings as well as between them.

摘要

(2012)还观察到,嵌入土著社区参与的研究面临着当地伦理研究所需的内容与合同客户或在相关国家伦理和政策框架内管理、委托或资助研究的其他利益相关者的要求之间的额外脱节。考虑到偏远地区之间的差异,伦理协议可以通过社区一级的研究伙伴关系进一步纠正文化失调。在这个层次上,研究很可能在社区环境中以及社区环境之间遇到文化上独特和细粒度的多样性。国家伦理议定书的目的是维护土著人民自决和表达其社区和文化价值的权利;但在它们内部,语言、文化、地理和身份政治的差异在背景内部或背景之间往往是无法分辨的。这降低了通过国家框架保留自决等预期价值的可能性。除非有时间和金钱进行必要的讨论,以便更好地理解研究将如何包括和代表一个社区的自决价值和优先事项,否则社区层面的数据不太可能导致社区优先考虑当地服务的结果。土著研究知识和伦理协议对非土著共同研究者的一个好处是,通过这个过程,研究者可以更好地理解她自己与拥有土著文化知识基础的合作者之间的研究,以及这与所支持的和实用的人类伦理研究价值是如何交叉的对远程社区参与的远程公共服务提供的实地研究是关于交叉性的信息和知识的渠道,它突出了当代偏远土著社会国家框架实施中隐含的文化和地理不协调(Austin-Broos, 2001)。1有关土著价值观和对土著和托雷斯海峡岛民进行伦理研究的伦理要求的更多细节,请参阅邓巴和斯克林杰(2017,pp. 64-65);《国民声明》(2003年,第69-71页);和AIATIS指南,(2012,pp. 4-18)。在国家层面,伦理学术研究过程的设计是为了使实践和程序能够理想地相互告知(Guillemin et al., 2016)。这种实践、方法和程序的迭代是人类研究伦理审查过程设计中固有的。对于一些研究参与者来说,在获得他们的知情同意的过程中,讨论土著伦理研究协议的核心价值是极其重要的。在一项纵向研究中,随着时间的推移,这些对话塑造了知情同意工具,并提高了所述健康研究的参与率(邓巴和斯克林杰,2017;Guillemin et al., 2016)。但是,国家框架的强制实施是否也减少了地方社区参与塑造自己的伦理研究的方式?在另一个环境和不同的研究背景下,土著参与者和共同研究人员之间达成知情同意的点没有那么有条不紊和程序化;事实上,建议使用知情同意协议可能会破坏研究。外来者和社区长老之间的书面文件、签名和正式会议记录很少能在远程环境中培养信任、合作或参与,除非存在非常良好的关系(Judd, 2017)。当人与人之间和文化之间对彼此的角色以及工作的潜力和意图的理解建立起来时,参与轨迹上会有一个点,通过这个点,研究的当地优先事项被确定和“拥有”(Lovell, Armstrong, Inkamala, Lechleitner, & Fisher, 2012)。参与式行动研究(PAR) (Wadsworth, 2011)是一种社区和行动驱动的研究方法,理论上寻求中介机制,导致社区层面的参与和变化。在偏远土著社区研究的两个案例中(Lovell, 2017;Lovell et al., 2012)会话对话形成了研究团队的核心功能。通过将迭代过程嵌入到方法中,研究结果和建议可以确定和披露当地安全和福祉的优先事项。研究结果的吸收是一个谜:服务提供者与社区成员想要结果的理由不同;利益相关者会有不同的时间框架和冲动来投资或不投资建议。

Research for social impact and the contra-ethic of national frameworks
Iteration is a factor of the human research ethical clearance through which research and evaluation with humans is undertaken in Australia. In remote community research contexts, iteration has helped us to redress some features of the cultural dissonance that occurs between western and Aboriginal research paradigms and between remote and urban contexts. Without a commensurate ethic of feedback between national programs and remote research settings, the uptake or non-uptake of findings from short-term or rapid-contract research often remain a mystery. The proposition this paper puts forward is for a post-research process whereby research commissioners and administrators provide feedback as to the uptake or not of research findings. This would produce a meta-data, as well as make accessible the rationale for research findings being accepted or rejected. The meta-data would provide baselines for further research, an ongoing record of areas of research and neglect, and assist in the uptake of research knowledge useful at a community level. However, this proposition would require non-partisan support which is highly unlikely to be realised in the current political climate. human research Ethics: Protocols, procedures and practices Despite being intensely researched, remote Aboriginal community residents’ outcomes for health, education, employment, wellbeing and safety fall below the set targets of Australian governments (Australian Government, 2016; Limerick et al., 2014). Evidently, research and evaluation contribute knowledge for the governance and provision of public services, but what knowledge, and how and why, is unclear. There is no formal requirement or system of feedback from research commissioners to research institutions, researchers or community research partners. With so much information and knowledge being produced, what else can human research ethical protocols contribute towards improving remote Aboriginal community outcomes? All research undertaken in Australia that includes people requires an ethical clearance, which is managed through a university or a government department. A human research ethics committee (HREC) grants a research project clearance when adequate ethical processes and oversight for the research are accepted by the committee. Procedural ethics and ethical practice together describe the process of ethical research and the terms are commonly understood as iteratively linked (Guillemin & Gillam, 2004). A principal of human research ethics is that research contribute to knowledge that achieves a greater social good. Producing findings through remote Aboriginal community research and evaluation is not enough, despite community-level priorities and the direct benefits of employment, participation and income from community research contract work. The social context of the current policy era has 93 Learning Communities | Special Issue: Ethical relationships, ethical research in Aboriginal contexts | Number 23 – November 2018 been described as “governance by program” (Sulkunen, 2008, p. 75). An era in which policy increasingly frames public services such as welfare as programs, such as active welfare, shaping the relationship between the participant and the state as a contract (Whiteford, 2015). In such an era, if the ethic of social good is to be retained as an ethical principle then recommendations from Aboriginal community research about remote services must inform policy and program designs, and the rationale of such evidence-based policy determination made transparent. Australian Aboriginal people have been the most researched group on the continent to date (Martin & Mirraboopa, 2003) and human research ethical protocols have been further adapted from those developed alongside medical advances that used western and medical scientific models.

The national ethical protocols seek to redress cultural dissonance in relation to the Aboriginal health sector (Dunbar & Scrimgeour, 2017; Martin & Mirraboopa, 2003), educational sector (Nakata, 2007; Nakata, Nakata, Keech, & Bolt, 2012), and in the legal interpretation of cultural and intellectual property (Janke, Pitt, & Herborn, 2013; Orr et al., 2009). The process of Aboriginal community research in remote settings relies on navigating intersectional power structures and cultural dissonances to undertake practicable and ethical studies. As Kelly et al.

Considering the diversity between remote settings, there is scope for ethical protocols that further redress cultural dissonance through research partnerships at the community level. At this level research is likely to encounter culturally distinct and fine-grained diversity within community settings as well as between them.
