Abstract:
Recognition of the importance to environmental epidemiology of ethical and philosophical deliberation led, in 1996, to the establishment of Ethics Guidelines for the profession. In 1999, these guidelines were adopted by the International Society for Environmental Epidemiology. The guidelines were revised in 2012 and again in 2023 to ensure continued relevance to the major issues facing the field. Comprising normative standards of professional conduct, the guidelines are structured into four subsections: (1) obligations to individuals and communities who participate in research; (2) obligations to society; (3) obligations regarding funders/sponsors and employers; and (4) obligations to colleagues. Through the 2023 revision of the Ethics Guidelines, the International Society for Environmental Epidemiology seeks to ensure the highest possible standards of transparency and accountability for the ethical conduct of environmental epidemiologists engaged in research and public health practice.
摘要:
认识到伦理和哲学审议对环境流行病学的重要性,1996年,建立了该行业的道德准则。1999年,国际环境流行病学学会通过了这些准则。2012年和2023年对准则进行了修订,以确保继续与该领域面临的主要问题相关。包括专业行为的规范标准,该准则分为四个小节:(1)对参与研究的个人和社区的义务;(2)对社会的义务;(3)有关资助者/赞助者和雇主的义务;(4)对同事的义务。通过2023年《道德准则》的修订,国际环境流行病学学会寻求确保从事研究和公共卫生实践的环境流行病学家的道德行为达到最高的透明度和问责制标准。
