In December 2022, UCSF released the results of a preliminary investigation into his research conducted on prisoners at the California Medical Facility at Vacaville. The report raised ethical concerns over how the research was conducted, especially with regards to getting informed consent from and communicating research risks to participants, and the fact that many of the prisoners were being assessed or treated for psychiatric conditions. [9] The report noted that the experiments did not involve treating medical conditions the patients had, in some cases involved exposing patients to herbicides and insecticides. In his response to the report, Maibach expressed remorse regarding his involvement in the research, stating "[While] the work I did with colleagues at CMF was considered by many to be appropriate by the standards of the day, [in retrospect] those standards were clearly evolving.
