The Center for Health Care Ethics at Saint Louis University and the Continuing Education Department at the Missouri Institute of Mental Health are proud to announce a new, multi-media, train-the-trainer program: “Ethics in Mental Health Research”, sponsored by the National Institutes of Health. This nine session course will feature nationally-recognized faculty on the topics: History and Principles, Informed Consent, Conflicts of Interest, Cultural Competence, Risks and Benefits in Study Design, Recruitment, Decision-making Capacity, and Privacy. Course sessions will be held on-site at the Missouri Institute of Mental Health or by distance-learing via live webcast.
The ultimate aim of the Ethics in Mental Health Research course is to equip mental health researchers with tools that will help them to conduct research that not only protects, but respects participants, while enabling the use of effective and rigorous designs. It complements the standard responsible conduct of research instruction that many institutions require of investigators before any type of research is conducted with human participants.
