Speaker(s)
The current ethical and regulatory frameworks for prospective ethical review of research were developed for clinical medical research that poses more than minimal risk (i.e., physical risk). This mismatch can often lead to under- and over-estimation of risks in SBER by IRBs. The session will be delivered in a question and answer format, following the format of a recent user-friendly reference book published by the session presenters specific to SBER. During this session, speakers and attendees will:
Learning Objectives:
- Review the unique design features of SBER that may raise ethical concerns
- Explain the unique risks and benefits of SBER
- Describe key protections for minimizing risks to participants in SBER, particularly that which poses greater than minimal risk
