Preventing exploitation requires a multi-faceted approach:
Strong Ethical Guidelines: Adhering to established ethical guidelines and ensuring they are followed rigorously. Community Engagement: Involving communities in the research process to ensure their needs and concerns are addressed. Transparency: Being transparent about the aims, risks, and benefits of research studies. Regulatory Oversight: Ensuring research undergoes thorough review by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) or similar bodies.
