the requirements below:
○ Create a hypothetical site issue that does not conform to the
ethical issue you chose. (For example, the site is initiating a Phase
1 study for the first time, a recent audit identified a major informed
consent problem. In an audit it has been discovered that
non-English speaking patients aren’t being approached or
considered for a study for which they are eligible. ) Provide
relevant background information on topic that relates to the ethical
issue you chose. Why is it important?
○ Be sure to present evidence &/or quote sources
(citations/references) to support the rationale for the position you
take on the topic you chose. These include federal regulations,
informed consent requirements, Belmont Report, etc. Explain
things fully and clearly. Use one or two brief examples. Just be sure
you cover the key points and provide details.
○ At the end of your presentation, discuss why the ethic chosen is
important to human research and the site. Refer to how the site
failed to meet the ethical conduct. Include specific strategies, a
potential corrective and preventive action plan, your site will
implement to correct and prevent the ethical issue.
