Improving Accessibility of Research Ethics Boards for Community-Based Research in Canada

Improving Accessibility of Research Ethics Boards for Community-Based Research in Canada

Canadian Institute for Health Research (CIHR)

The research aimed to provide a platform that advocates for a dual focus on community and individual rights in community-based research (CBR) that respects multiple ethical norms and traditions. Reviews of current Research Ethics Board (REB) practices were conducted in Canada to explore common HIV/AIDS related CBR ethical dilemmas and to develop and pilot test an assessment tool for CBR ethics review.
