title = "Ethical Issues Involved with the Analysis of Risks and Benefits",
abstract = "The role of research ethics committees (RECs) is to ensure the protection of research from unnecessary risks. This is accomplished by identifying the risks of the research, minimizing such and determining whether the risks are reasonable to the potential benefits. Judgments as to whether risks are reasonable to benefits represent one of the REC{\textquoteright}s important and difficult determinations. Unfortunately, RECs tend to spend little time discussing the risks and benefits and research ethics guidelines offer little direction on how to weigh risks with potential benefits. As such, this chapter will discuss concepts related to risk and benefits and compare various frameworks offered to provide a systematic approach to assessing when risks are reasonable to benefits.",
