    How ethical is your clinical trial?
    (John Wiley & Sons., 2010) Miller, Lori.; Folayan, Morenike.; Allman, Dan.; Nkala, Busisiwe.; Kasirye, Lilian Mutengu.; Mingote, Laia Ruiz.; Calazans, Gabriela.; Mburu, Rosemary.; Ntombela, Fanelesibonge.; Ditmore, Melissa Hope.
    Is Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval and a rigorous informed consent process enough? It is our view that this is no longer the case. Conventional research ethics emphasise the importance of weighing the risks and benefits for prospective participants as one of the key determinants of deeming a clinical trial ethical. We support the notion that ethical obligations of research should include considerations not only at the individual level, but also at the community level.
