Introduction
• Increasing importance of using biological stored and/or newly collected tissue samples for Genetic and Non-Genetic researches.
• Ethical issues involved with:– Participants’ preferences for participation– Consent issues– Collaborations and ownership
Why the potential opinions of human subjects are important to conduct
biomedical research?
To enhance:
• Process of informed consent
• Trust between researchers and human
subjects
Objectives
To determine the attitudes of an Egyptian population living in remote area towards:
• Willingness to participate in biomedical research• Willingness to provide biological samples for
future research• Preferences for consent for donating biological
samples.• Types of conditions placed on collected samples
Study Design: Setting Population of a remote
village in Rafah city (NE Sinai) near borders of Palestine.
