Abstract

A growing gap between the number of patients awaiting a transplant and the number of organs donated is forcing federal officials to try to improve the system of organ sharing among hospitals. Some professionals say tampering with the system could worsen the organ shortage. Others argue that a broader system of sharing would benefit everyone.

Balancing the needs of the scientist and the subject in trauma research.

All participants in research are vulnerable to some extent. Survivors of trauma are often sought as participants for research studies and may be at an increased risk of emotional or psychological distress as a result of research participation. Scientists need to pay careful attention to issues of informed consent and the potential harm and benefits from research participation. This article explores challenges of selecting a sample, informed consent, and study continuation when conducting research with survivors of trauma.
