The first-ever interdisciplinary handbook in the field, this essential resource provides comprehensive analysis of health research regulation. The chapters address gaps between documented law and research practice, drawing on legal, ethical, and social theories about what constitutes robust research regulation to make recommendations for future directions. The Handbook offers an account and analysis of current regulatory tools, such as consent to participation in research and the anonymization of data to protect participants' privacy. It also provides commentary on the roles of the actors and stakeholders involved in human health research and its regulation. Drawing on a range of international examples of research using patient data, tissue, and other human materials, the collective contribution of the volume is to explore current challenges in delivering good medical research for the public good and to provide insights on how to design better regulatory approaches. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
