| Popis: | Background Research on human subjects is a public trust; therefore, there is a need to ensure that research coming out of Africa is conducted to the highest ethical standards. Ethics codes ensure that participants in research projects are treated with dignity and respect while they contribute to the social good. History of past abuse of human participants in research and the need for a body to be responsible for ensuring adherence to the principles of ethics in clinical research has necessitated the formation of ethics committees. This study assessed the knowledge of resident doctors, who are medical specialists in training, on their understanding of ethical issues involved in clinical research and their perception of the working and operations of ethics committees. |
