21 views3 pages

Document Summary

The core ethical principle of concern for welfare requires that researchers and rebs carefully consider the risks and potential benefits attributable to a research project in assessing its ethical acceptability. This module explains how to weigh the risks and potential benefits of research, and the purpose of that ethics assessment. Because research explores the unknown, outcomes are uncertain. Society as a whole may benefit from the advancement of knowledge that comes from research (indirect benefits). Individual participants may also benefit from an improvement to their welfare as a result of their participation in research (direct benefits). However, much research offers little or no direct benefit to participants. For a research study to be ethically acceptable, the potential benefits of the research should outweigh the foreseeable risks associated with the research. 2, potential benefits are impacts that positively affect the welfare of participants, their communities, or society as a whole through the advancement of knowledge for both present and future generations.
