This article talks about both clinical research ethics and public health research ethics. Clinical research ethics are defined as set of relevant ethics considered necessary for the conduct of clinical trials in field of the clinical research. While public health research ethics is mainly aimed at finding out what is best for the communities and the populations rather than the individuals. Research ethics is mainly focused on the protection of individual participants and some of the research norms and accepted principles may be challenging when applying in some of the research contexts.

Health Discourse

This introductory essay contextualizes the special collection of papers on the pandemic and seeks to map the terrain of extant public health research on Palestine and the Palestinians. In addition, it is a contribution in Palestine studies to a nascent yet propulsive conversation that has been accelerated by Covid-19 on the erasure of structures of violence, including those of settler colonialism and racial capitalism, within the discipline of epidemiology. Using public health as an analytic, this essay asks us to consider foundational questions that have long been sidelined in the public health discourse on Palestine, including the implications for health and health research of eliding ongoing settler colonialism. Rather than ignoring and reproducing their violence, this essay seeks to tackle these questions head-on in an attempt to imagine a future public health research agenda that centers health, and not simply survivability, for all Palestinians.

Research Questions

Critical and creative work can and must be done to determine why injustice exists, including who gains and who loses and how it wreaks its woe, thereby generating knowledge for both rectifying harm and creating just and sustainable solutions. Critical research questions focus on: What is the evidence that social injustice harms health? What can be done to prevent this harm? There are four key reasons to develop a research agenda for social justice in public health: (1) ignorance forestalls action. (2) The “facts” never “speak for themselves.” (3) Specificity matters. (4) Research can exacerbate, and even generate, rather than help rectify social inequalities in health. This chapter discusses a proposal for a public health research agenda that advances issues of social justice and includes four components: theory, monitoring, etiology, and prevention. For each component, the author delineates broad principles and provides specific examples.
