Crossing Cultural Barriers: Informed Consent in Developing Countries

Educational Resource
Author:Anonymous
Abstract:

This case highlights potential dilemmas encountered by postdoctoral fellows in a research setting. Does the promise of a U.S. standard of medical care undermine informed consent in foreign based studies? It also explores the issues of informed consent when U.S. supported medical research is taking place in a developing country.
