我们探讨了生活在核时代辐射阴影下的纳瓦霍社区的经历，他们是50年来研究的对象。在这篇从上世纪50年代开始到20世纪末在纳瓦霍地区进行的公共卫生(流行病学)研究的历史分析中，我们分析了在纳瓦霍地区开展的研究活动的成功和失败，道德的违反，以及这项研究给社区带来的伤害和好处。我们讨论了科学和道德的不确定性、缺乏利益相关者的充分参与以及社区范围的推广和教育如何影响研究中的伦理决策。
We explore the experience of Navajo communities living under the shadow of nuclear age fallout who were subjects of five decades of research. In this historical analysis of public health (epidemiological) research conducted in the Navajo lands since the inception of uranium mining from the 1950s untill the end of the 20th century, we analyze the successes and failures in the research initiatives conducted on Navajo lands, the ethical breaches, and the harms and benefits that this research has brought about to the community. We discuss how scientific and moral uncertainty, lack of full stakeholder participation and community wide outreach and education can impact ethical decisions made in research.
