How Can Autonomy Be Ensured in Toxicological Studies?
Ensuring autonomy in toxicological studies involves several steps. First, researchers must provide clear and accessible information about the studyâs purpose, procedures, potential risks, and benefits. This is often achieved through the process of informed consent. Participants should voluntarily agree to partake in studies without coercion and fully understand what their involvement entails. Furthermore, ongoing communication throughout a study can help participants make informed decisions as new information arises.
