Principles and practices for responsible research, including respect for participants, scientific integrity, proportionate risk assessment and independent review. Informed consent, privacy and honest reporting are part of the research design rather than substitutes for its scientific quality.[ref]
Time, effort, discomfort or disruption associated with research or intervention. A low therapist-time programme can still impose substantial burdens on caregivers and children.
Protection against inappropriate identification or disclosure of participant information. Data sharing should reflect consent and the identifying content of the material; identifiable child video may require controlled access rather than public release.
An explanation after participation of the study's purpose and relevant procedures, including justified deception, with an opportunity for questions and appropriate follow-up. Its form should fit what participants experienced and the study's risks.
Intentionally misleading participants or withholding relevant information about a study. Its necessity and risks require justification and appropriate review; less deceptive alternatives should be considered. Research debriefing can explain what was withheld but does not automatically remove all consequences.
