What is Human Research?

Human research is conducted with or about people, or their

data or their tissue.

Examples of human research:

Trials of clinical interventions

Interviews

Surveys

Focus Groups

Observations

Medical records

Clinical Audits

National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human

Research (2007)

http://www.nhmrc.gov.au/_files_nhmrc/publications/attachments/e72.pdf

Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of

Research (2007) – Research Integrity not research

ethics, but an important document for your research

http://www.nhmrc.gov.au/_files_nhmrc/publications/attachments/r39.pdf

Page 11: Research Ethics & Governance - Western Health · 2015-02-26 · Research Ethics & Governance Mr Bill Karanatsios Manager, Office for Research (Western Health) Interim Manager, Clinical

In the National Statement (2007)

• Different research methods and disciplines:

– Qualitative research

– Human tissues

– Clinical trials

– Databanks

• Different types of participants – Children

– Overseas

– Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people

• Ethical review – Membership and role of HRECs

– Low risk and negligible risk

– Duplication of review

• Researcher responsibilities

• Institutional responsibilities

Principles of Ethics

Six of the values that commonly apply :

Autonomy - the right to refuse or choose their treatment.

Beneficence - act in the best interest of the patient.

Non-maleficence - "first, do no harm”

Justice - distribution of scarce health resources, and the decision of who gets what treatment

Dignity - the patient (and the person treating the patient) have the right to be treated with dignity.

Truthfulness & honesty - the concept of informed consent

Page 14: Research Ethics & Governance - Western Health · 2015-02-26 · Research Ethics & Governance Mr Bill Karanatsios Manager, Office for Research (Western Health) Interim Manager, Clinical

14

Responsibility to participants

Professional obligations

Use of public funds carries with it obligations to the

community

Requirements of research funding bodies, state, federal

and international

Requirements of the Hospital insurer – indemnification of

researchers

Requirements of many journals

Reputation of the Hospital

Why research ethics matters?

Page 15: Research Ethics & Governance - Western Health · 2015-02-26 · Research Ethics & Governance Mr Bill Karanatsios Manager, Office for Research (Western Health) Interim Manager, Clinical

15

Historical Cases of Unethical Research

• 1932-1972 Tuskegee Syphillis Study

• Denying standard care to a particular population by deception

• 1963-1966 Willowbrook Study

• Exploitation of a vulnerable population

• Children with mental retardation being infected with HepA

Page 16: Research Ethics & Governance - Western Health · 2015-02-26 · Research Ethics & Governance Mr Bill Karanatsios Manager, Office for Research (Western Health) Interim Manager, Clinical

Responses to Ethical Violations

The Nuremberg Code (1949)

Produced in response to the Nuremburg trials, this

international guideline specifies responsibilities of

medical researchers.

The Declaration of Helsinki (1964):

Another important international document

specifying rules for medical research.

The Belmont Report (1978)

Legislation in 1974 created the National

Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects

of Biomedical and Behavioral Research

Page 17: Research Ethics & Governance - Western Health · 2015-02-26 · Research Ethics & Governance Mr Bill Karanatsios Manager, Office for Research (Western Health) Interim Manager, Clinical

17

The role of an HREC

1. risk to subjects are minimized;

2. risk to subjects are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits;

3. selection of subjects is equitable, i.e. fair;

4. informed consent is sought form each subject or his/her legally

authorized representative;

5. informed consent is appropriately documented;

6. when appropriate, the research plan makes provisions for monitoring

data collection;

7. privacy and confidentiality of research subjects is appropriately

protected; and

8. when some or all of the subjects are likely to be vulnerable to coercion

or undue influence, additional safeguards have been included.

Page 18: Research Ethics & Governance - Western Health · 2015-02-26 · Research Ethics & Governance Mr Bill Karanatsios Manager, Office for Research (Western Health) Interim Manager, Clinical

A common mistake researchers make is to describe a project as

involving no risks

When what they actually mean is that there are strategies in place

to negate or minimise the risks

Risks in human research: Types

Page 19: Research Ethics & Governance - Western Health · 2015-02-26 · Research Ethics & Governance Mr Bill Karanatsios Manager, Office for Research (Western Health) Interim Manager, Clinical

• What are some of the risks of Human Research.

– Physical (Injury, illness, harm)

– Psychological (significant distress)

– Social (impact on social networks, access to services and support)

– Economic (loss of income, earnings and cost to participants)

– Legal (exposure to civil or criminal proceedings)

– Humiliation (devaluation of worth)

– Environment (see Code not NS)

• Recognition of burden on participants.

Any research also holds reputational risks for both the researcher and the institution.

Risks in human research: Types

Page 20: Research Ethics & Governance - Western Health · 2015-02-26 · Research Ethics & Governance Mr Bill Karanatsios Manager, Office for Research (Western Health) Interim Manager, Clinical

Assessing Risks • To whom do the risks apply?

– Participants, potential participants, third parties, environment, and / or researchers.

• Addressing risks

– Are there alternatives?

– Can risks be negated or minimised?

– Can risks be managed?

• Can the risks be justified?

• Disclosure to potential participants

Yet another common mistake is to focus only on the risks to the participants.

Risks in human research: Assessing

Page 21: Research Ethics & Governance - Western Health · 2015-02-26 · Research Ethics & Governance Mr Bill Karanatsios Manager, Office for Research (Western Health) Interim Manager, Clinical

A failure to comply with the Code of Conduct for Research and includes conduct in, or in connection with, research that is

(a) dishonest, reckless or negligent and

(b) seriously deviates from accepted standards within the scientific and scholarly community for proposing, conducting or reporting research:

• the fabrication or falsification of data or results,

• the use of another person's ideas, work or data without appropriate acknowledgement (plagiarism),

• misleading ascription of authorship to a publication

• failure to disclose conflicts of interest

• failure to obtain the required prior ethical or regulatory approval for the research project to proceed;

• or failure to conduct the research project in accord with the approved ethical or regulatory protocol.

Research Misconduct

Page 22: Research Ethics & Governance - Western Health · 2015-02-26 · Research Ethics & Governance Mr Bill Karanatsios Manager, Office for Research (Western Health) Interim Manager, Clinical

Procedures for dealing with allegations of misconduct in research are set out in:

•Staff: WH’s disciplinary policy; University’s Responsible Conduct of Staff Policy

•Students: University’s Student Discipline Policy

Research Misconduct: Disciplinary

Research Governance vs. Research Ethics

ETHICS GOVERNANCE

The Ethics Submission is created to facilitate the scientific and ethical review of a research project by an Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC).

The Research Governance Submission is created to facilitate assessment of overall feasibility and compliance with institutional requirements of a research project by a governance or ethics officer.

Any accredited HREC can perform this function

Performed at individual institutions

Impact on patients? If review will identify issues that will require pts to be contacted/ treatment amended

Prospective study comparing "standard of care" vs. intervention

QUESTIONNAIRE BASED RESEARCH Questionnaires/survey of treatment group

Patients group – survey of patients outside “usual care”

DATA STORAGE: 12 months 5 years 5 years/ CT 15 years (For Children more)

CONSENT: Consent or waiver of consent
