Study Notes

The Principle of Justice in Research

  • The principle of justice in research dictates that all individuals should be treated fairly and equitably.
  • Fairness in research can be broken down into individual justice and social justice
  • Individual justice requires that the benefits of research are offered to a diverse population.

Fair and Just Treatment

  • Research should consider the ability of research participants to bear burdens and whether placing further burdens on already burdened persons is appropriate.

Inclusion in Research

  • The principles of inclusion can be seen in the research process.
  • Research should be inclusive of different populations including women, minorities, and children.
  • Women and minorities should be included in proportion to the rates of disease or condition.

The Case of Esophageal Cancer

  • A study on genetic factors associated with esophageal cancer should include a diverse population to accurately represent the disease in different populations.
  • Not including a diverse population may lead to a study that is not generalizable to the population of the country.

Selection of Populations for Clinical Research

  • When choosing participants for clinical research, researchers must consider the specific goals of the research and whether a diverse population is necessary.
  • The goal of research is to ensure the findings are generalizable to the wider population.
  • If the study is anticipated to result in widespread benefits and there is minimal risk associated with the study, the inclusion of a diverse population is necessary.

Incomplete Disclosure and Deception

  • Research participants should be fully informed about the risks and benefits of participating in research.
  • There may be instances where incomplete disclosure or deception is necessary for research, however careful consideration must be taken before engaging.
  • For example, only if incomplete disclosure is essential to the research and is not harmful to the research participant.
  • Debriefing involves informing participants after the study of any deception or incomplete disclosure.

Debriefing

  • Debriefing is generally considered appropriate, however, it must depend on whether the disclosure would result in harm.

Fairness in International Research

  • Researchers must ensure that fair standards are used when conducting research in other countries, particularly countries where resources are scarce.
  • Researchers should consider the benefits that will be given to participants in clinical research after the study is complete.
  • Researchers should also consider how any effective treatment emerging from the research could be provided to the rest of the population.

The NIH Guidelines

  • The National Institutes of Health (NIH) provides guidance for research participants regarding the need for continued treatment for research participants in HIV/AIDS antiretroviral studies.

Terminology on Justice

  • The principle of justice is intertwined with terms like:
    • Undue burden
    • Equitable distribution
    • Permission and assent
    • Deception/incomplete disclosure
    • Community consent
