Clinical research

Clinical Psychology The science of studying people through observation, experiment, and investigation of behaviors in different situation (apa.org) is called clinical psychology, which is the most practice subfield in psychology. Clinical psychology is a subfield in psychology that its goal is to change the behavior to its normal form by focusing on mental, behavioral, and emotional disorders. Therefore, not only clinical psychologists treat the disorders, but also prevent them from happening (apa.org). As clinical psychology has many sub-specialties, psychologists can specialize in different aspects of the science, which result in working in different work settings. Clinical psychologists work in academic settings as teachers and researchers,…

The atrocities committed by Nazi physicians on Jewish prisoners during World War II prompted an international tribunal, convened in the city of Nuremberg, Germany to elaborate principles, called the Nuremberg Code, by which research involving human subjects should be governed. Since Nuremburg, a multitude of regulations and policy statements have been developed by domestic and international bodies. These regulatory guidance documents, share a common purpose: to protect the autonomy, safety,…

Recent scholars have proposed that prisoners be used as research subjects in clinical trials requiring human subjects. Scholars suggest this in order to address the problem of using non-ideal research participants and not having enough research participants to satisfy a study. Finding research participants is a lengthy process, including sufficiently explaining the potential risks and benefits of a study, getting informed consent, and maintaining the participants for the entire duration of the…

Results Fifteen peer reviewed articles addressing the clinical research questions were evaluated. Within the 15 citations, a focus was placed on the implementation of a gluten- and casein-free diet (GFCFD) and the behavioral changes (if any) in children with ASD. Table 1 summarizes the (a) participants, (b) interventions (c) comparison (d), and (e) outcome for each of the 15 included studies. Studies are grouped within the table according to their certainty of evidence classifications. Some of…

CHWs can be utilised in engagement activities, however they may over-emphasize trial benefits when sharing trial information and may face animosity from community members during information sharing (Angwenyi et al., 2013). Both Field Workers and CHWs may be utilised in clinical trials. This combination may be beneficial and challenging. Learning from the experiences in a malaria vaccine trial in Kenya, fieldworkers were frontline staff employed by research team from communities in which…

probably do not realize how long it took to actually get the drug on the shelf or drug become available to be picked up at a local pharmacy. There is four phase to the FDA’s Approval Process: Pre-Clinical, Clinical, NDA Review, and Post Marketing. There are steps within all the phase that need to be completed before going to the next phase until a drug is made available to the public. During the Pre-Clinical phase there are three steps that have to be completed before going to the next phase,…

talented researchers and physicians working together on clinical trials, and are allowing students to work on their research to get a glimpse into the medical field. The mentors were undergraduate students once so they understand the importance of getting hands on experience with medicine. The George Washington Hospital is a teaching hospital so they strive to help students in a way that will allow them to grow. There are only seven academic Departments of Emergency Medicine in the United…

proposed prisoners should be the target group for researchers to enroll in human clinical trials. Using prisoners has the potential to be a more efficient way of conducting clinical trials versus using only volunteers to research and develop useful drugs or treatments. One explanation for this is that conducting efforts to recruit volunteers, screening them, determining if they are healthy enough to continue through the entire research study, and having a readily available pool of candidates, is…
