Protecting Public Health The primary aim of regulatory oversight is to protect public health. By ensuring that studies are conducted ethically and accurately, regulatory bodies help in identifying and mitigating health risks effectively.
Ensuring Ethical Conduct Regulatory oversight ensures that researchers adhere to ethical guidelines, thereby protecting the rights and well-being of study participants. This is particularly important in epidemiology, where studies often involve vulnerable populations.
Maintaining Trust Public trust in scientific research is vital. Regulatory oversight helps in maintaining this trust by ensuring transparency, accountability, and integrity in research activities.
