Study Notes
Human Subjects Research and Ethical Considerations
- Historical Context: Early research lacked ethical oversight, leading to abuses like the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, the Nazi Medical War Crimes, and other unethical experiments.
- Ethical Principles (Belmont Report): Developed in 1979, this report outlines three key ethical principles for research involving human subjects:
- Respect for Persons: Individuals are autonomous agents; those with diminished autonomy deserve additional protection. Informed consent is crucial, ensuring participants fully understand the study.
- Beneficence: Maximize benefits and minimize risks; research benefits must outweigh any potential harm.
- Justice: Fair and equitable distribution of research burdens and benefits; vulnerable populations must not bear a disproportionate burden of risk.
- Institutional Review Boards (IRBs): IRBs are established to protect research subjects; they conduct prospective reviews of research proposals, ensuring ethical conduct.
- Types of Research:
- Quality Improvement (QI) or Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) projects: Not designed to be generalizable; often focused on internal processes and quality outcomes at a specific site. May not qualify as human subjects research.
- Research projects: Designed to be generalizable and involve methods like pre/post measures, comparison groups, or randomization. These projects adhere to rigorous research methodologies.
- Federal Regulations & HIPAA: U.S. regulations aim to protect research subjects. HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) safeguards protected health information (PHI) used in research when applicable. Additional steps are required when using PHI for research, often requiring specific IRB/privacy board approval. De-identified data, or data with all identifying information removed, falls outside human research protection.
Institutional Review Board (IRB) Process
- Pre-submission tasks: Project categorization (QI/EBP or research); creating CITI accounts and Cayuse accounts; completing CITI modules and COI disclosures.
- Submission process: Using Cayuse submission forms to address project-relevant questions.
- Approval and study/project conduct: IRBs review and approve or request changes. Following approved protocols and using approved forms during project execution.
- Changes and closure: Reporting any project changes to the IRB, submitting closure reports (for research projects only) once the project is completed.
