Module 7 Assignment 2: Case study

The study is submitted to an international foundation, which agrees to fund it. After its approval by the state review committee, the study is presented to the funder’s research ethics committee. All but one member of the committee, who is an anthropologist who has worked extensively in the rural parts of that country, approve the study. The anthropologist is concerned that the confidentiality of abortion-seekers could be compromised, and wants assurances that the records that identify each research participant will be kept confidential. The leader of the research group responds that all records will be kept under lock and key in the main offices of the NGO, which is nowhere near the study site.

Questions
1 Does the process for identification of women who have had an abortion by using community and women’s groups and formal and informal health workers as information sources properly ensure confidentiality?

2 Should oral consent substitute for written consent in a population in which illiteracy is common and people are reluctant to put any signature or identifying mark on a written document that they might not understand?

3 Will the interview process adequately protect privacy? Comment on the procedures that are designed to protect the women who had consented to be interviewed at the time they underwent an abortion (dummy interviews in the community, clustering of interviews, and dummy interviews with other family members during the interview with the woman).

4 What additional measures might be used to protect interviewees from the possibility of unwanted attention?

5 Is this method of recruitment of”abortion seekers” appropriate and free of coercion?

Is individual informed consent a culturally bound concept (from developed countries) or is it a universal principle that ought not be compromised? May the chief and the council provide informed consent for the community? Should they?

Module 7 Assignment 1: Case study

Case 23
Testing high doses of vitamin A on children
The ministry of health of a West African country receives a grant from a foreign medical institute to collaborate with its investigators on a double-blind study designed to assess the effect of periodic high doses of vitamin A on the incidences of childhood diarrhoea and acute respiratory infections (ARI). High-dose vitamin A capsules or placebo would be administered in a double-blind fashion every 4 months for 1 year to children from 6 months to 5 years. A record of morbidity (diarrhoea and ARI) and mortality data would be measured biweekly and blood samples would be drawn (less than 2cc) at 0, 6, and 12 months to test vitamin A status. The daily affairs of this traditional, rural community are governed by a traditional leader and council of elders but the national government retains control of other municipal affairs, including tax collection, the police, and the military.
The chief and council call a meeting to inform the community of the proposed study. In a festive environment, the investigators describe the study and answer all questions from members of the community (men, women, and children) and from the council. After a brief meeting, the village chief and council give their approval. Shortly thereafter, in accordance with the guidelines provided by the research ethics commit-tee at the foreign investigators’ institution, the field staff begin to go from house to house to obtain parents’ signatures on the informed consent forms that are necessary to allow their children to participate in the study. The parents, however, say that since the chief has already approved of the study they do not need to sign anything. They also explain to the researchers that they usually do not sign anything because they cannot read what they are signing.
On the second day, the field team making the home visits is summoned to the chief’s house where they are politely informed that their seeking individual signatures is both unnecessary and insulting. The fact that the chief and coun-cil has approved is enough. When the field staff explain that they are required by the grant agreement to obtain signed informed consent forms, they are told that if they insist on doing so they will have to leave the community.

THE CASE STUDIES Voluntary Informed Consent

Questions
1 Is individual informed consent a culturally bound concept (from developed countries) or is it a universal principle that ought not be compromised?
2 May the chief and the council provide informed consent for the community? Should they?
3 How crucial is individual informed consent in this setting?
4 Are there circumstances when individual informed consent is unnecessary?
5 Is the purpose of informed consent to protect the participant and/or the investigator?
6 How should the field team handle this problem? What should the granting institution do?
