Va Research Protections for Human Subjects Need to Be Strengthened

Every year thousands of veterans volunteer to participate in biomedical or behavioral research projects under the auspices of the VA. The VA has a special responsibility to ensure that vets are not unduly influenced in their decision to participate in research projects & that their rights & welfare are protected if they volunteer. This report: (1) assesses VA's implementation of human subject protections; (2) identifies whether weaknesses exist in VA's system for protecting human subjects; & (3) assesses VA's actions to improve human subject protections at those sites affected by sanctions applied by regulatory agencies & throughout VA's health care system.Bascetta, Cynthia A. is the author of 'Va Research Protections for Human Subjects Need to Be Strengthened' with ISBN 9780756713218 and ISBN 0756713218.
