Tuskegee Syphilis Study
Definition
- The Tuskegee Syphilis Study is most often remembered for its unethical research design rather than for any significant scientific findings. When the study's true nature was made public, 40 years after the project began, the effect was not only a national scandal but a considerable increase in distrust by African Americans toward the U.S. government.
