World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki-Ethical principles for medical research involving human participants

World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki-Ethical principles for medical research involving human participants
JAMA; World Medical Association; 10/24
Preamble: The World Medical Association (WMA) has developed the Declaration of Helsinki as a statement of ethical principles for medical research involving human participants, including research using identifiable human material or data. The Declaration is intended to be read as a whole, and each of its constituent paragraphs should be applied with consideration of all other relevant paragraphs. While the Declaration is adopted by physicians, the WMA holds that these principles should be upheld by all individuals, teams, and organizations involved in medical research, as these principles are fundamental to respect for and protection of all research participants, including both patients and healthy volunteers.
