What does 6.07 say?

Behavior analysts identify, disclose, and address conflicts of interest in their research and when reviewing others' research. Behavior analysts do not conduct research with participants with whom they have a relationship (e.g., personal, professional, supervisory, financial) unless the conditions in the Code related to multiple relationships can be met.
