Summary

Adopting a human rights approach to human subjects research entails shifting an ethic of “avoiding harm” to one of “actively promoting good,” especially in international contexts. The implications for research procedures are discussed as a series of steps in research planning and implementation, selection of participants, and community involvement. Special issues in research with vulnerable populations and in “big data” research are addressed.
