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.
