Rapid Ethical Assessment/Appraisal (REA) is a brief qualitative intervention designed to map the ethical terrain of research settings ideally prior recruiting study participants with the purpose of connecting ethical principles to contexts and realities on the ground. REA attempts to discover, describe and respond to the ethical issues specific to a particular research setting, and as such should help researchers to address the issues that genuinely matter to proposed study participants and their community. The assessment is conducted among key stakeholders to inform the design of a particular research project. Its findings are utilized to inform and guide the research consent process; ranging from the conception and development of the consent form, to the way consent is obtained.
