Chapter Summary

This chapter has focused on concerns that may arise during the course of the study, including recruitment issues, ensuring that the prospective participants understand the processes and the risks and benefits, the maintenance of the participants’ privacy and the confidentiality of the data, and the safeguarding of participants from risk during the course of the study. Issues relating to participant understanding are complex and necessitate consideration of the individual’s ability to understand, to make decisions, and to agree to participate free of duress or coercion. The chapter has addressed in detail issues pertaining to the disclosure of information derived from the study. The theme throughout this chapter has been the protection of individuals who agree to participate in health research.
