Misconception: Ethics Review Is Paperwork
Captions available
The idea
Ethics review decides whether the risks of a study can be justified by its benefits, before anyone is enrolled. That judgement changes what may be studied.
In practice
A protocol altered because review found the risk unjustified.
Where people slip
Treating review as an obstacle to clear misses that some answerable questions are genuinely not askable.
