Nature of Vulnerability in Biomedical and Psychosocial Research

Pablo Alejandro Millones-Gomez

A chapter in Clinical Trials in Vulnerable Populations from IntechOpen

Abstract: This chapter explores the ethics of research as one of the requirements in daily work, considering the protection of the dignity of subjects and the publication of information. It identifies which are the most vulnerable populations as well as the conflicting ones and the ambiguity in the decision making, which in many occasions recurrently appear in the review of the literature on human research. Also, it described strategies to overcome the ethical difficulties encountered in the call and follow-up, with a cultural sensitivity.
