Ethics Committee Roles & Processes
Ethics of participant incentives and reimbursements
Reimbursing participants for their participation in research is common practice across different types of research. Even so, reimbursement continues to raise ethics controversy and disagreement between bioethicists, participants, researchers and HRECs. In this presentation an ethics analysis of the nature of reimbursement in research will be outlined. I will consider how HRECs determine ethical acceptability of reimbursement practices against the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research 2023 sections 2.2.10, 2.2.11 and 3.1.21
