Ethical Inclusion versus Exploitation: Including Vulnerable Populations in Clinical Research

Speaker: Annette McCoy Oeser, MLAS CCRP, Regulatory Compliance Analyst HRPP, Vanderbilt University Medical Center

Date and Time: Tuesday, July 23, 2024 │12 – 1 pm Central

When research abuses such as the Public Health Service’s Syphilis Study became widely known, regulations and guidances were enacted that severely restricted the use of certain populations considered vulnerable in clinical research. However, these restrictions excluded these populations from potentially beneficial research and left medical providers without the knowledge of how medications worked for groups like women and children. It is critical to include broadly defined diverse populations as research participants to obtain this knowledge. However, how do we ethically include vulnerable populations without exploiting them?

Objective: This session will use the concepts of respect for persons, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice while reviewing research scenarios to identify ways to ethically include diverse and vulnerable study participants.
