Casebook on Ethical Issues in International Health Research
This casebook collects 64 case studies, each of which raises an important and difficult ethical issue connected with planning, reviewing, or conducting health-related research. The book’s purpose is to contribute to thoughtful analysis of these issues by researchers and members of research ethics committees, particularly those involved with studies that are conducted or sponsored internationally.
