Study Notes
Core Principles of Biomedical Research Ethics
- Respect for persons, beneficence, and distributive justice are the three core principles of biomedical research ethics.
- Research ethics review committees and professional standards require a certain level of scrutiny to ensure compliance with these principles.
Respect for Persons
- Respect for persons emphasizes autonomy, informed consent, voluntariness, and protection of potentially vulnerable individuals.
- Autonomy is the ethical principle that only an individual (or their legal guardian) can decide whether to volunteer for a research study.
- Potential participant must be fully informed about the benefits and burdens of the study, the procedures, and the data usage plans.
- Recruits must autonomously decide whether to participate.
- Researchers should choose an appropriate source population for the research question.
- A scientifically valid and rigorous study protocol is important because it could be disrespectful to ask participants to volunteer for a poorly designed study.
- Research procedures should be minimally invasive.
- A nondiscriminatory process should be used to sample and recruit participants.
- Researchers should recruit the correct number of participants to ensure adequate statistical power for the study.
- Recruiting too few participants may mean the study cannot generate significant results, and recruiting too many participants may burden volunteers.
