Abstract

In this article, we situate arts-based health research in the contextual background of evidence-based medicine, knowledge translation and qualitative health research to explain why the ethics of doing arts-based health research has received little attention until now. Then, we present an overview of the ethical issues reported in scientific publications by arts-based health researchers. Finally, we discuss the utility of the literature on ethics and arts-based health research for guiding practice in this type of research.
