Despite the recognition of its importance, guidance on community engagement practices for researchers remains underdeveloped, and there is little empirical evidence what makes effective in biomedical research. We chose to study Navrongo Health Research Centre northern Ghana because well-established opportunity it afforded examine a traditional African setting. Our findings suggest that specific preexisting features have greatly facilitated using mechanisms limits social disruption associated...
Research conducted following natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods or hurricanes is crucial for improving relief interventions. Such research, however, poses ethical, methodological and logistical challenges researchers. Oversight of disaster research also ethics committees (RECs), in part due to the rapid turnaround needed initiate after a disaster. Currently, there limited knowledge available about how RECs respond appraise research. To address this gap, we investigated experiences...
Abstract Disaster research has grown in scope and frequency. Research the wake of disasters during humanitarian crises – particularly resource‐poor settings is likely to raise profound unique ethical challenges for local communities, crisis responders, researchers, ethics committees ( RECs ). Given challenges, many have questioned how best provide review oversight. We contribute conversation concerning ensure appropriate oversight disaster argue that requires researchers a particular sort...
The conduct of research in settings affected by disasters such as hurricanes, floods and earthquakes is challenging, particularly when infrastructures resources were already limited pre-disaster. However, since post-disaster essential to the improvement humanitarian response, it important that adequate ethics oversight be available. We aim answer following questions: 1) what do committee (REC) members who have reviewed protocols conducted low- middle-income countries (LMICs) perceive key...
In many settings, the dedication of healthcare workers (HCWs) to treatment tuberculosis exposes them serious risks. Current ethical considerations related prevention in HCWs involve threat posed by comorbidities, issues power and space, implications intersectoral collaborations, (de)professionalization, just remuneration, duty care, involvement research. Emerging include mandatory vaccination use geolocalization services information technologies. The following exploration these various...
Enhancing the effectiveness, efficiency, and fairness of interventions is an increasing source concern in field disaster response. As a result, expansion relief evidence base has been identified as pressing need. There corresponding increase discussions ethical standards procedures for research. In general, these have focused on elucidating how traditional research ethics concerns can be operationalized settings. Less attention given to exploration implications heterogeneity within Hence,...
This paper maps key research questions for humanitarian health ethics: the ethical dimensions of healthcare provision and public activities during international responses to situations crisis.Development this agenda was initiated at Humanitarian Health Ethics Forum (HHE Forum) convened in Hamilton, Canada November 2012.The HHE identified priority avenues advancing policy practice ethics action.The main topic areas examined were: experiences perceptions ethics; training professional...
This paper argues that international development research should be submitted to the oversight of ethics committees from countries where data will collected. includes conducted by individuals who may fall outside jurisdictions most guidelines or policies, such as contracted non-governmental organizations. The argument is grounded in an understanding social justice recognizes not seeking local approval can affront decolonization movement, and lead significant direct harms participants. Local...
Abstract Prominent tuberculosis ( TB ) actors are invoking solidarity to motivate and justify collective action address , including through intensified development implementation (D&I) of technologies such as drugs diagnostics. We characterize the ethical challenges associated with D&I new by drawing on stakeholder perspectives from 23 key informant interviews we articulate implications for technology D&I. The fundamental issue facing technological is a failure within beyond...
