Ethical Guidelines for Human Subjects Research

Ethical guidelines for human subjects research are rules designed to protect people who participate in studies. They ensure that participants are treated with respect, informed about the research, and their consent is obtained willingly. Researchers must guarantee the safety and well-being of participants, keep their information confidential, and minimize any risks. Additionally, they should ensure that the benefits of the research outweigh any potential harm. These guidelines aim to promote fairness, integrity, and trust in research involving human beings.
