Undertaking Community Engagement for a Controlled Human Malaria Infection Study in Kenya
Human infection studies (HIS) involve deliberately infecting healthy volunteers with disease-causing pathogens under controlled conditions. These studies are “controlled” by way of using specific types of pathogens, including dose, and the availability of emergency medical facilities to research volunteers. Most HIS involve diseases whose treatment is known and are done to accelerate the development of novel therapeutics such as vaccines, to addr…
Feedback of Research Findings for Vaccine Trials
Internationally, calls for feedback of findings to be made an ‘ethical imperative’ or mandatory have been met with both strong support and opposition. Challenges include differences in issues by type of study and context, disentangling between aggregate and individual study results, and inadequate empirical evidence on which to draw. In this paper we present data from observations and interviews with key stakeholders involved in feeding back aggr…
Working with C ommunity H ealth W orkers as ‘ V olunteers’ in a Vaccine Trial
C ommunity engagement is increasingly emphasized in biomedical research, as a right in itself, and to strengthen ethical practice. We draw on interviews and observations to consider the practical and ethical implications of involving C ommunity H ealth W orkers ( CHWs ) as part of a community engagement strategy for a vaccine trial on the K enyan C oast. CHWs were initially engaged as an important network to be informed about the trial. However o…
