The need for empathetic healthcare systems

by Angeliki Kerasidou, Kristine Bærøe, Zackary Berger, Amy E Caruso Brown
23rd September 2020 • comment

Community engagement is increasingly promoted to strengthen the ethics of medical research in low-income countries. One strategy is to use community advisory boards (CABs): semi-independent groups that can potentially safeguard the rights of study participants and help improve research. However, there is little published on the experience of operating and sustaining CABs.

UPDATED: August 2011. This bibliography primarily lists references for papers published on the topic of informed consent (especially as it relates to empirical studies carried out in developing countries), and the topic of community engagement (again, focusing on studies carried out in developing countries). We would like to keep this bibliography comprehensive and updated. Please let us know if we are missing any papers on these topics.
