Week 3: Optional assignment for participation credit.
Watch the 4 minute video from Christine Rabinek from Wayne State on “Ethical Considerations in Clinical Research.” Name 3 regulatory bodies that ensure ethics is upheld in research. Do you agree or disagree on the roles of regulatory bodies in the process? Why?

Regulatory bodies that ensure ethics is upheld in research include human research protection programs, institutional review boards (IRBs), federal U.S. groups like the FDA, and codes/reports such as the Belmont Report (Rabinak, 2017). I agree with the roles that these regulatory bodies have in the research process because they uphold proper and ethical/legal standards and protect the rights of research participants. Research must maintain respect for persons- which includes informed consent and confidentiality, beneficence, and justice (Rabinak, 2017). When these principles and rights are violated, it can have negative effects on the research participants as we have seen happen in the past. Having third-party regulatory bodies reviewing and guiding research studies ensures that human participants are protected and ethical standards are complied with.

I watched the video on ethical considerations in clinical research and I completely agree with the governing bodies role in the safety of clinical trial participants. First off the participants must know that their safety is our number one concern. After all the clinics trials ultimate outcome is to improve patient safety or patient care to the population. They need to know we will keep their participation confident. Also, they need to know that we appreciate their willingness to participate and we show that by beneficence, that the benefit will outweigh the risk. Lastly is justice, if we are not committed to being fair and honest there is really no point in doing research at all. We need our research to be valid and trustworthy in order for people to allow us to make these positive changes in their care, be it healthcare or other areas of their lives.

Regulatory agencies play an integral role in clinical research programs. They were developed as a result of issues that occurred in the past. Human Research Protection Agency protects the rights and wellbeing of human subjects who are involved in clinical research that are conducted by the US Department of Health and Human Services. This goal is accomplished through guidelines and protocols regulations. This is vital to the success of the research. As stated in the Belmont Report, human subjects should be voluntarily consented to being apart of clinical research after adequate information was related to them.

Three regulatory bodies that insure that ethical guidelines are followed during research involving human subjects are Human Research Protection Programs (HRPPs), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Institutional Review Board (IRB). There is also a Office for Human Research Protections that oversees research conducted by the federal government through the Health and Human Services Department (Health and Human Services, n.d.). I feel that these regulatory bodies and the roles they play are vial in protecting people during the research process. Medical research is necessary for the development and improvement of medications, medical treatment options and procedures, but history has proven that, if not regulated, great harm can be done in the name of research.

The goal of the Institutional Review Board is to ensure that clinical trials are carried out in a way that is ethical, safe, and respectful of human life (United States Food and Drug Administration, 2019). One ethical dilemma surrounding population health is creating programs that are fair and equitable to all members of society in every situation. Although this goal seems unattainable, the acceptable threshold of population health programs and research studies is to find solutions to health problems that positively affect the largest group of people most of the time instead of one individual all the time. To find this balance, medical professionals must seek first to do no harm and act in a way that intentionally benefits the individual or group. They must make it a priority to ensure that all resources and opportunities provided through the programs and trials are equally and fairly distributed throughout the population. Medical professionals, public health programs and translational research trials must also recognize and respect each individual and their humanity. (Decamp et al, 2017) The homeless population of Atlanta and access to healthcare for management of chronic health conditions such as diabetes and hypertension is an area that I feel would benefit from a translational research study, but there are many ethical issues to take into consideration. For example, where would the funding for the care come from, taxpayer or private money? Should public health programs be funded by the public/ taxpayers? Most homeless individuals are not able to pay taxes or pay into social security programs. Do they deserve to be cared for by a system that they don’t contribute to? The homeless population is notoriously hard to track; how would resources and care be equally distributed and monitored?
