An Introduction to Human Research Ethics: Historical Failures, Principles, and Modern Safeguards
Human research has helped advance medicine and public health, but it also has a dark past. Ethical failures such as the Tuskegee Study and Nazi human experimentation showed the serious harm that can occur when research is conducted without proper ethical safeguards. In this video, we will take a look at human research ethics, the lessons learned from these failures, the ethical principles that guide research, and the protections now used to help safeguard participants.#HumanResearchEthics #ResearchEthics #PublicHealth #Bioethics #InformedConsent #HealthResearch
