Casebook on ethical issues in international health research

This casebook has been developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a teaching tool for instructors and workshop leaders rather than as a textbook for students or workshop participants. There is no need for participants to have copies of the casebook: facilitators can provide participants with individual case studies and chapter introductions relevant to the research ethics topic being addressed.

Individual case studies and chapter introductions relevant to the research ethics topic being addressed can be photocopied from the print version or downloaded from the WHO web site without additional permission from WHO, unless the planned use is in conjunction with commercial purposes.

Please ensure that the WHO source is appropriately acknowledged. If you plan to publish, adapt or translate the materials, please contact WHO directly at the following email: pubrights@who.int
