Perceptions of Ethics Committee Secretaries on support provided for Ethics Committees’ administration & functioning: A Questionnaire based survey
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
This questionnaire based study to explore the perceptions of Ethics Committees’ (EC) Member Secretaries (MS) on the support provided for proper administration & functioning was conducted over 2 months in Mumbai. 54 randomly selected ECs and the respective MS were sent a copy of the pre-validated questionnaire. Efforts were made to get the forms within 8 days. Only 38 ECs participated in the survey. Most (28/38) conduct meetings in a separate room, though 22 ECs have a separate area for archival of their documents with restricted access. 32 MS were content with their support staff and the logistics provided. Guidelines pertaining to the required EC-exclusive office, area for the same, necessary support staff and logistics to be provided should be issued without which the EC functioning would falter. A fully-equipped EC will definitely pave the way for a fully-functional EC.
