- was an infamous clinical study conducted between 1932 and 1972 by the U.S. Public Health Service to study the natural progression of untreated syphilis in rural African-American men in Alabama. They were told that they were receiving free health care from the U.S. government.
- The 40-year study was controversial for reasons related to ethical standards, primarily because researchers knowingly failed to treat patients appropriately.
- led to major changes in U.S. law and regulation on the protection of participants in clinical studies. Now studies require informed consent communication of diagnosis, and accurate reporting of test results. (from wikipedia)
