  1. Research ethics preparedness during outbreaks and public health emergencies: Focus on community engagement.Raffaella Ravinetto, Joyce Adhiambo & Joshua Kimani - 2024 - Research Ethics 20 (4):731-743.
    Research represents an essential component of the response to infectious disease outbreaks and to other public health emergencies, whether they are localised, of international concern, or global. Research conducted in such contexts also comes with particular ethics challenges, the awareness of which has significantly grown following the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, the Zika outbreak in Latin America and the COVID-19 pandemic. These challenges include the need for implementing meaningful community engagement with the researched communities, not just to build unidirectional (...)

  • Key ethical issues encountered during COVID-19 research: a thematic analysis of perspectives from South African research ethics committees.Keymanthri Moodley, Stuart Rennie & Theresa Burgess - 2023 - BMC Medical Ethics 24 (1):1-13.
    BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic presents significant challenges to research ethics committees (RECs) in balancing urgency of review of COVID-19 research with careful consideration of risks and benefits. In the African context, RECs are further challenged by historical mistrust of research and potential impacts on COVID-19 related research participation, as well as the need to facilitate equitable access to effective treatments or vaccines for COVID-19. In South Africa, an absent National Health Research Ethics Council (NHREC) also left RECs without national guidance for (...)

  • Exploring views of South African research ethics committees on pandemic preparedness and response during COVID-19.Theresa Burgess, Stuart Rennie & Keymanthri Moodley - 2024 - Research Ethics 20 (4):701-730.
    South African research ethics committees (RECs) faced significant challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research ethics committees needed to find a balance between careful consideration of scientific validity and ethical merit of protocols, and review with the urgency normally associated with public health emergency research. We aimed to explore the views of South African RECs on their pandemic preparedness and response during COVID-19. We conducted in-depth interviews with 21 participants from RECs that were actively involved in the review of COVID-19 related (...)
