TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Ethical Issues in Clinical Research A1 - Portney, Leslie G. Y1 - 2020 N1 - T2 - Foundations of Clinical Research: Applications to Evidence-Based Practice, 4e AB - Ethical issues are of concern in all health professions, with principles delineated in codes of ethics that address all aspects of practice and professional behavior. Clinical research requires special considerations because it involves the participation of people for the purpose of gaining new knowledge that may or may not have a direct impact on their lives or health. We ask them to contribute to our efforts because we seek answers to questions that we believe will eventually be of benefit to society. Because their participation may put them at risk, or at least some inconvenience, it is our responsibility to ensure that they are treated with respect and that we look out for their safety and well-being. We also know that published findings may influence clinical decisions, potentially affecting the lives of patients or the operation of health systems. Therefore, we must be vigilant to ensure the integrity of data. SN - PB - F. A. Davis Company CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - fadavispt.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1187146601 ER -
