Rights of Research Participants

Rights of research participants are protections that ensure individuals involved in studies are treated ethically and fairly. Participants have the right to be informed about the purpose, risks, and benefits of the research before agreeing to take part. They can choose to participate voluntarily and can withdraw at any time without penalty. Their privacy and personal data must be kept confidential. Researchers are responsible for minimizing harm and ensuring safety throughout the study. These rights help protect participants’ well-being and autonomy, promoting trust and integrity in the research process.
