As more research is conducted in developing countries, ethical issues that reflect differences in cultures, politics, wealth, standards of care, individual and group rights, and priorities are surfacing with increasing frequency. The present ethical codes are not always sufficient for the broad new set of problems faced by funders of international health research, members of Ethical Review Boards, government agencies, and researchers themselves. In total about 800 people have participated in various versions of the course offered in Mexico, South Africa, Nigeria, India, Pakistan and UAE.
WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND
To address current issues, anticipate potential future problems, and facilitate productive communication, this interactive program draws on the combined talents of leaders in the field. Participants from both developing and industrialized countries have an opportunity to compare experiences, receive expert advice, and voice their concerns in five days of lectures, case studies, and panel discussions. Recognizing that current guidelines are both subject to interpretation and likely to create conflict, the program encourages candid comments, questions, and open critique of available materials.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Ethical Issues in International Health Research is intended for individuals involved in all areas of international health research, including medicine, anthropology, epidemiology, education, journalism, political science and law; government, foundations, and industry officials with funding responsibilities; and members of institutional and governmental review boards.
