International meeting advances the development of ethical guidelines for clinical trials
December 1, 2011
Dr. Monica Taljaard
recently hosted an international meeting on the ethics of cluster-randomized clinical trials, which compare different treatments by randomly assigning some regions (or hospitals) to provide one treatment while the others provide another. More than 70 people attended in person and 25 attended over the web, including representatives from the World Health Organization. This meeting is a crucial step in the development of guidelines to help researchers design and conduct these trials with high ethical standards.
The meeting was funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, with
Dr. Jeremy Grimshaw
as Co-Principal Investigator. All research at OHRI is also supported by The Ottawa Hospital Foundation.
