Pediatric Trials in Developing Countries – Ethical Requirements & Development of Guidelines
Why Should You Attend:
Pediatric research – whether in infants, children or adolescents – is ethically more challenging than research in adults. Trial participation is even more sensitive in developing countries where the socioeconomic status of participants is often low and access to healthcare is restricted. Therefore in order to understand the research in pediatric populations and especially in developing countries, the insight to in depth knowledge of both domestic states regulations and guidelines is very important.
This webinar will provide in-depth understanding of the main ethical considerations when conducting research in developing countries. We will discuss how you can identify the regulations and guidelines that govern human subjects in developing countries and address the challenges associated with pediatric studies in those countries.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this webinar, attendees should be able to:
- Identify the key ethical issues such as consent process, role of ethics committee, fair selection and social norms that are often observed in pediatric studies
- Identify the regulations that govern human subjects in developing countries
- Recognise the key challenges associated with pediatric studies in developing countries
- Identify the means how these challenges can be addressed
- Identify the options or strategies to move forward
