TY - JOUR PY - 1991// TI - Protection of research subjects: do special rules apply in epidemiology? JO - Law medicine and health care A1 - Capron, Alexander Morgan SP - 184 EP - 190 VL - 19 IS - 3-4 N2 - ...Before we dismiss ethics as nothing more than a cause of confusion and needless worry, I think we need to take a careful look at epidemiologists' ethical obligations to research subjects. In doing so, we should pay particular attention to three points: first, the difference between harming someone and wronging them; second, the role of informed consent in protecting against such wrongs; and third, the steps that can be taken to avoid or minimize particular harms associated with breaches of privacy and confidentiality.
