{"product_id":"pioneering-ethics-in-a-longitudinal-study","title":"Pioneering Ethics in a Longitudinal Study","description":"Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. \nThe Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), also known as Children of the 90s, is a world-leading birth cohort study that uniquely enrolled participants in utero and obtained genetic material from a geographic population. It instigated the innovative but controversial ALSPAC Ethics and Law Committee.\nThis book describes in detail the early work of this Committee, from establishing the core ethical principles necessary to protect participants, to the evolution of policies concerning confidentiality and anonymity, consent, non-intervention and disclosure of individual results, data access and security. Quotes from interviews with early members of the Committee reflect not only on its pioneering work but also on the unusual style and inspirational leadership of the first Chair, Professor Michael Furmston.\nThis will be of interest to those involved in other cohort studies in understanding the evolution of ethical policies as ALSPAC developed.","brand":"Bristol University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54253364445528,"sku":"9781447340386","price":66.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781447340386__67acb4c269eb4.jpg?v=1741135412","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/pioneering-ethics-in-a-longitudinal-study","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
