Study Notes
Belmont Report Principles
-
Justice: Ensures equitable distribution of research benefits and burdens. Avoids selecting subject populations based on convenience; important for fair subject selection. Example: Unequal distribution of medical treatment benefits to private vs. ward patients during 19th/early 20th centuries.
-
Beneficence: Prioritizes minimizing risks and maximizing potential benefits to research participants. Risks should be reasonable in relation to expected benefits (and associated knowledge). This principle is relevant for both low-risk and high-risk research.
-
Respect for Persons: Safeguards voluntary participation and informed consent. Subjects must freely choose to participate and understand the study details before consenting. Example: Deception in the Tearoom Trade study, where researchers misrepresented their role, violating this principle.
Application of Principles (Example Scenarios)
-
Scenario 1 (School-Based Tutoring): Testing a new tutoring program at one school the researcher's children attend violates the principle of justice (convenience sampling). Evaluating the program across numerous diverse schools distributes the benefits and burdens more fairly. Potential for eliminating underprivileged students lack of resources (internet access, devices) could further violate justice principle.
-
Scenario 2 (General): Researchers must consider potential harm vs anticipated benefit to participants, and ensure no undue burden upon vulnerable populations to ensure that their participation does not undermine the Belmont principles of Justice and Respect for Persons.
