Studies involving children with mental, emotional, or behavioral
problems--or their families--have to meet certain standards of
research ethics. This book contains chapters on the kinds of
ethical dilemmas that typically occur in different types of studies
of children, and then presents 65 real-world cases from experts who
study children's mental health. These experts offer practical
suggestions for how to handle these dilemmas. Chapters on the
perspectives of parents, regulators, and bioethicists provide
additional points of view on these issues. Written in down-to-earth
language, this book will be useful for professionals who study
children, for those who train students in research methods, and for
parents who are thinking about participating in research studies.
In attempting to bridge the apparent gap between ethics and
science, the editors close this volume on a note commonly sounded
by researchers: more research is needed. Yet in this area, a new
kind of research is required. The science of scientific ethics must
be developed and expanded, and better understanding of the
determinants and circumstances under which children can comprehend
and evaluate risks and benefits is needed. Likewise, fuller
knowledge of the contextual factors affecting children's and
families' consent to participate in research is essential. In
particular, development of scales to assess children's ability to
comprehend risk-benefit issues, studies of families' reactions to
research procedures, and empirical data on the impact of various
forms of participant reimbursement will advance both science and
ethics. This volume should spur further research, serving as a
guide for current investigators, participating families,
institutional review boards, and policymakers who shape the
research enterprise.
