How Does CIOMS Contribute to Ethical Guidelines in Epidemiology?
One of the main contributions of CIOMS to epidemiology is the development of ethical guidelines. The CIOMS Ethical Guidelines are a set of principles that guide researchers in conducting epidemiological studies ethically. These guidelines are particularly important for ensuring the protection of human subjects, maintaining transparency, and promoting public trust in medical research. They cover aspects such as informed consent, privacy, and the equitable distribution of research benefits.
