Transgender Participants: Transgender participants refer to individuals whose gender identity does not match the sex they were assigned at birth. They may identify as a gender different from their assigned sex.
Ethical concerns encompass moral principles and guidelines that researchers must follow when conducting studies. These concerns include ensuring participant safety, informed consent, privacy/confidentiality, and avoiding harm or discrimination towards specific groups.
