This article examines ethical issues that emerged during a CBPR study in Toronto, Canada, exploring sexual health attitudes and practices among lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, and questioning young people labeled with intellectual disabilities. The authors then explain how incorporating critical disability perspectives and a heightened awareness of professional role conflict into CBPR practices has the potential to foster development of more inclusive and accessible research environments.
