A researcher knows that most of their institution's work is on men's health. They propose more research on women's health. Which guiding principle is this?

The guiding principle in this scenario is related to justice, which emphasizes fairness and equity in the distribution of research and healthcare resources. By proposing further research on women's health, the researcher acknowledges the historical imbalance in healthcare attention and resources that have often favored men's health issues over women's. This action reflects a commitment to correcting that imbalance and ensuring that women receive equitable representation and consideration in health research.

Justice requires that all groups, especially those who may have been marginalized or under-researched, have access to appropriate healthcare interventions and benefits. Therefore, the proposal for more research on women's health supports this principle by aiming to address disparities in health research and ensuring that women’s health needs are adequately explored and met.
