Document Summary
In canada, the main guidance document for the ethics of research involving human participants is the tri-council policy statement: ethical conduct for research involving humans tcps 2 (2018). Research is meant to enhance our understanding of the world. It is therefore essential to the advancement of society. Because research explores the unknown, it generally carries some risk. For research involving humans to be ethical, it is necessary that human participants in research understand those risks and freely choose to participate in the research. More broadly, the ethical conduct of research requires that human participants be treated with dignity, from the recruitment process to the sharing and dissemination of research results. Respect for human dignity is the fundamental value that lies at the heart of the tcps 2. It is expressed concretely through three core principles. In the tcps 2, three complementary core principles serve as the guide to ethical research involving human participants: respect for persons, concern for welfare.
