“…Similarly, we found that researchers and REC members had similar views, with the exception of risk-benefit balance and selection of study participants; i.e., more REC members than researchers rated very important for these two issues. A previous study among similar groups of researchers and ethics committee members in Thailand explored their opinions regarding ethical considerations of the research proposal and the informed-consent process in research in general, not particularly to challenge studies [19]. The results of that study identified more discrepancies of opinions between the two groups, including risk/benefit, vulnerability, confidentiality/privacy, communication of risks, decision-making authority for consent, process for approaching study participants, and the availability of a contact for study deviations/violations [19].…”

The present study suggests that the perceptions and concerns about challenge studies are general among researchers, and do not differ that much by research field or with experience as an REC member.…”

Questions have been raised over the acceptability of conducting human challenge studies in low and middle income countries (LMICs). Most of these concerns are based on theoretical considerations and there exists little data on the attitudes of stakeholders in these countries. This study examines the view of researchers and REC members in Thailand regarding the design and conduct of challenge studies in the country. A questionnaire was developed based on ethical frameworks for human challenge studies. The target respondents included those who had experience with health-related research at universities, non-university hospitals, and research institutes. A total of 240 respondents completed the on-line survey. In general, the respondents felt that the ethical issues raised by human challenge studies in LMICS do not differ significantly from those in high income countries, including: scientific rationale, safety, appropriate risks, and robust informed consent process. In contrast, issues that have been described as important for human challenge studies in LMICs were rated as having lower importance, including: a publicly available rationale, national priority, and community engagement. Responses did not vary significantly between researchers in different fields, nor between researchers and REC members. These findings provide an important perspective for assessing existing frameworks for human challenges studies in LMICs.

“…Ultimately, themes were formulated from these categories. A sample of the transcripts was then given to participants to confirm whether their views had been captured clearly, and they all confirmed that the transcript was a true reflection of their experiences (Kaewkungwal & Adams 2019 ).…”

Background: Culture plays a vital role in resolving grief in African communities. However, women who terminate a pregnancy in adolescence are typically not exposed to cultural rituals that could ease their grief.Objectives: The purpose of this article is to explore the interaction of culture and grief amongst women who terminated a pregnancy in adolescence.Method: A qualitative exploratory study was undertaken using a narrative approach. Unstructured interviews were conducted to solicit narratives from 11 women who terminated a pregnancy in adolescence.Results: Data were analysed through narrative, thematic data analysis. Three themes emerged from the findings: delayed post-traumatic growth, low body esteem and an alteration in the development of maternal identity.Conclusion: The study intended to explore the interaction of culture and grief amongst women who terminated a pregnancy in adolescence. The researcher determined that women who had not honoured their culture because of the secrecy surrounding the termination of pregnancy had delayed healing and an altered self-image.
