Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 22 EBP 3160 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Risk Cannot Exceed Benefit
Captions available
The idea
The risks of taking part cannot exceed the benefits of participation, and that balance is judged before a study runs rather than after.
In practice
A protocol weighed for what it asks of participants against what it offers.
Where people slip
The judgement is made in advance and by someone other than the researcher, which is what the next entry is for.
