摘要
Conducting sensitive topics research online can allow researchers access to a wider range of participants with "sensitive topics" experience; however, additional ethical considerations need to be considered when conducting this research. Online research can either involve active or passive data collection, with each requiring extra thought around consent, anonymity, confidentiality, and data security. Suggestions for how researchers should begin thinking about ethical issues in online research around a sensitive topic are given.
