Question

Of the seven main principles to guide the conduct of ethical research, can you discuss something new that you learned about ethics in research?

Answer 1

Ans) NIH Clinical Center researchers published seven main principles to guide the conduct of ethical research:
• Social and clinical value.
• Scientific validity.
• Fair subject selection.
• Favorable risk-benefit ratio.
• Independent reviews
• Informed consent.
• Respect for potential and enrolled subjects

New thing learnt is the respect for potential and enrolled subjects which includes:

- respecting their privacy and keeping private information confidential.
- respecting their right to change their mind, to decide that the research does not match their interests, and to withdraw without a penalty
informing them of new information that might emerge in the course of research, which might change their assessment of the risks and benefits of participating
- monitoring their welfare and, if they experience adverse reactions, unexpected effects, or changes in clinical status, ensuring appropriate treatment and, when necessary, removal from the study
- informing them about what was learned from the research.
