    Study Notes

    Ethical Considerations in Research

    • Research is a systematic effort to understand a subject and uncover truths that benefit humanity.
    • Research ethics are crucial, as history shows the misuse of research subjects (e.g., WWII medical experiments).
    • The Nuremberg Code (1947) established ethical guidelines for human experimentation.
    • The Helsinki Declaration (1964), a medical ethics document, still serves as a benchmark for medical research.
    • The Nuremberg Code and Helsinki Declaration were reviewed and amended in 1982 and then further revised in 1992, with global ethical guidelines for research on human subjects being established.
    • Researchers need both methodological and ethical expertise.

    Ethical Qualities of Researchers

    • Integrity: Research findings should be truthful. Researchers must be honest in their data representation; avoid altering or manipulating data.
    • Objectivity: Scientists must avoid bias. Results must be presented as observed; no fabrication or alteration..
    • Respect for persons: Research subjects must be treated with dignity and compassion. Their needs must come first when conducting research.
    • Confidentiality: Research participants' privacy should be protected. Subjects have the right to anonymity.
    • Avoiding Harm: The safety of research subjects is paramount. Researchers should take preventive steps to minimize risk to subjects and maintain their well-being.
    • Informed Consent: Research participants must understand the research protocol completely. Subjects must sign off that they completely understand, and explicitly agree to participate.
    • Voluntary Participation: Subjects' autonomy is critical; they can freely choose to participate or withdraw from a study at any time.
    • Transparency: Researchers should present their study methodology and findings openly and honestly.
    • Expertise: Researchers must have adequate training and experience to conduct the study successfully and responsibly.
    • Collaboration: Collaborative effort with other researchers to achieve quality results if needed.

    Vulnerable Populations

    • Protection of children: Research with children requires parental or guardian consent.
    • Protection of pregnant women & nursing mothers: Research protocols with this group must specifically address potential risks and benefits for both mother and child. Risk avoidance is paramount.
    • Persons with disabilities: Research on individuals with disabilities needs careful consideration of their needs and accommodations. Special measures must be taken to ensure voluntary participation.

    Research on Animals

    • Appropriate animal care is essential. Researchers need to demonstrate concern for animal welfare.

    Withdrawal from Research

    • Subjects have the right to withdraw from a study at any point without penalty.
    • Researchers should anticipate withdrawals or drop-outs and plan accordingly.

    Confidentiality

    • Confidentiality of research results and participants' data is vital.
    • Participants' privacy must be prioritized; results should not reveal subject identities.
