Protocol: a comprehensive systematic review of alternatives to prospective informed consent in paediatric emergency research
Journal Contribution ResearchOnline@JCUAbstract
There is a community expectation that children presenting to emergency departments receive the best possible care, and that decisions are based on high-level evidence. Clinical research in children is necessary for paediatric emergency medicine to continue to advance, but research in emergency settings is challenging. One of the many challenges researchers face in conducting emergency research is the difficulty of obtaining prospective informed consent in ED research, and this has historically been a barrier to conducting research in this setting. Guiding principles for use of alternatives to prospective informed consent in emergency research are outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki and in local documents such as the NHMRC National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research which allows consent to occur after an intervention in certain circumstances. To ensure that ethical research can continue to be performed in this group, within the expatiations of the community, it is important to explore and understand the perceptions and experiences of parents, health care workers and researchers to alternatives to informed consent in paediatric emergency research.
