Description

How the research affords the ethical principles:
- Autonomy. Making sure that participants can consent through free choice, without worrying to be disadvantaged if they refuse. The information must be available that is understandable for participants, so that they fully understand what they are asked to do, should they agree to be part of the study
- Do no harm. The obligation not to do harm: the researcher must take reasonable, sufficient and appropriate steps to avoid causing harm (+ the safeguarding clause)
- Do good. It is not enough not to cause harm, the research are required to act for the benefit of others. The principle of beneficence states that the researcher needs to be clear about what benefits there will be to the actual participants and to society
- Inclusion. The researcher must make clear that all participants are treated fairly and equally, and this includes consideration of would should be included in the study and who should be excluded
- Participation, throughout the stages of the research cycle
