The current study has been designed to document and evaluatedecisions of chairpersons of RECs in the problematic field of non-therapeutic research with minors. Theauthors’ purpose was to examine whether non-therapeutic research was acceptable for chairpersons atall, and whether there was certainty on how to decide in research trials involving more than minimal risk.Design: In a questionnaire, REC chairpersons had to evaluate five different scenarios with (in parts) nontherapeuticresearch. The scenarios described realistic potential research projects with minors, involvingincreasing levels of risk for the research participants. The chairpersons had to decide whether therespective projects should be approved.Methods: A total of 49 German REC chairpersons were sent questionnaires; 29 questionnaires werereturned. The main measurements were approval or rejection of research scenarios.Results: Chairpersons of German RECs generally tend to accept non-therapeutic research with minors ifthe apparent risk for the participating children is low. If the risk is clearly higher than ‘‘minimal’’, thechairpersons’ decisions differ widely.Conclusion: The fact that there seem to be different attitudes of chairpersons to non-therapeutic researchwith minors is problematic from an ethical point of view. It suggests a general uncertainty about thestandards of protection for minor research participants in Germany. Therefore, further ethical and legalregulation of non-therapeutic research with minors in Germany seems necessary."],["dc.format.mimetype","application/pdf"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1136/jme.2003.005900"],["dc.identifier.fs","17497"],["dc.identifier.gro","3146746"],["dc.identifier.pmid","14872082"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?goescholar/4135"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/9420"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Migrated from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.issn","0306-6800"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.access","openAccess"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.subject","REC, research ethics committee"],["dc.subject.ddc","610"],["dc.title","Non-therapeutic research with minors: how do chairpersons of German research ethics committees decide?"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dc.type.version","submitted_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
