ABSTRACT The expansion of health research to low and middle income countries has increased the likelihood of exploitation and undue influence in economically vulnerable populations. In behavioral research, “reasonable availability”, which was originally developed for biomedical research and advocates for the equitable provision of any product developed during the research process, cannot always prevent exploitation. In such cases and settings, the informed consent process may lack cross-cultural validity and therapeutic misconceptions may arise. This article advocates for a mutual learning framework where international researchers can gain cultural competence while training and empowering local partners, increasing community ownership of health research.

提高研究素养以促进中低收入国家卫生研究的社区所有权

摘要 健康研究向低收入和中等收入国家的扩展增加了经济脆弱人群遭受剥削和不当影响的可能性。在行为研究中，最初为生物医学研究而开发并提倡公平提供研究过程中开发的任何产品的“合理可用性”并不能总是防止剥削。在这种情况下，知情同意过程可能缺乏跨文化有效性，可能会出现治疗误解。本文主张建立一个相互学习的框架，使国际研究人员可以在培训和授权当地合作伙伴的同时获得文化能力，增加社区对健康研究的所有权。
