Ethics in Global Health Research: New Data on Enhancing Informed Consent
Sponsor(s): Duke Global Health Institute (DGHI)
Ethical commentary on the quality of informed consent in developing countries often assumes that research subjects in poor countries exhibit very poor understanding of the consent material, while subjects in the US generally understand the same material quite well. In her Emerson lecture, Christine Grady presents data casting doubt on both of these assumptions and explores strategies for improving informed consent around the world. A reception will follow her talk.
