Review the main ideas. Be sure to ask any questions you have about the main ideas.
Institutional Review Boards (IRB) are groups of people who make sure researchers protect people’s rights and well-being.
The Belmont principles are the values that help us think about how to treat people when they are in research. They are:
Respect for persons is about believing that everyone can make decisions with or without support. Respect for persons also means taking extra care of people who have a hard time making decisions.
Justice is making sure all types of people can be in research and that everyone shares the good and bad things that can happen in research.
Beneficence is about making research have as many good outcomes as possible and keeping people as safe as possible.
Practice using these ideas with the “putting it into action” activities.
