port: Ethical Prin- human subject research:
ciples and Guide-
lines for the Pro- *respect for person: requires that individuals be treated as autonomous human

Subjects of Re- ability to understand and process information and the freedom to volunteer for
search research without coercion or undue influence from others. Respect for persons
requires informed consent and respecting the privacy of research subjects.
*beneficence: is minimizing harms and maximizing benefits. Beneficence requires
the best possible research design to achieve its goals. It also requires that re-
searchers be able to perform the research and handle the risks
*justice: requires that people be treated fairly and that benefits and risks be
shared equitably among the population. Justice requires that subjects be selected
equitably and that vulnerable populations or populations of convenience not be

tably among the population
4. respect for per- the principle that all people are presumed to be free and responsible and should
son be treated accordingly
5. randomized clini- a special type of clinical trial in which the researchers follow strict rules to randomly
cal trial (RCT) assign patients to groups
6. single blind study
