Ethical Intersections: Health research, methods and researcher responsibility - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

The ethics of health research has become a contentious issue at the same time as it has aroused enormous interest. Everybody agrees that 'bad apples' in the research community have to be brought into line, but how is this to be done? Researchers, clinicians and consumers differ in their views of what is to count as ethical research because of different backgrounds, different needs and different experiences. When they meet, and conflict, in universities and hospitals, this constitutes the ethical intersection which faces all health researchers in the world today.

Ethical Intersections focuses on the various ways in which researchers from different backgrounds balance method with ethical responsibility in their research. It brings together contributions from an international team of health researchers in fields as diverse as laboratory research, clinical care, the social sciences and consumer research.

Ethical Intersections is essential reading for all health researchers, for anyone called upon to judge the ethical content of a research proposal and for postgraduate students in the health sciences.
