Abstract:

Given issues of privacy, confidentiality, data sharing, and methodology that accompany human research, there are many ethics-related problems for statisticians to solve. Solutions need to be shared among the stakeholders concerned with human subjects' protection. A new peer-reviewed, international, nonprofit journal---the Journal of Empirical Research on Human Research Ethics (JERHRE)---began publication in March 2006. Without evidence-based problem solving, many conflicts are settled unsatisfactorily by applying a one-size-fits-all interpretation of principles or regulations. JERHRE seeks to create collaboration among stakeholders, stimulate research, and disseminate knowledge to foster intelligent application of ethical principles in research contexts worldwide. Come to this luncheon to learn about the journal and discuss these issues.
