Abstract
Behavioral and social science research (BSSR) studies are less stringently regulated compared to drug and device studies. At our university, internal quality assurance activities revealed BSSR studies have more, but similar, issues compared to other studies. However, most institutional resources are tailored to support drug and device research, leaving an evidence gap regarding effective strategies for fostering rigorous BSSR study conduct. Two campus units partnered to undertake a two-phase study. First, we characterized compliance issues based on BSSR study audit data. Second, we conducted interviews with behavioral researchers and others to discuss contributors to compliance issues and potential mitigating strategies. Through thematic analysis, we identified problems at that can be addressed at individual, study team, and university systems levels. Study results outline potential strategies to reduce compliance issues.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Empirical Research on Human Research Ethics (JERHRE) is the only journal in the field of human research ethics dedicated exclusively to empirical research. Empirical knowledge translates ethical principles into procedures appropriate to specific cultures, contexts, and research topics. The journal''s distinguished editorial and advisory board brings a range of expertise and international perspective to provide high-quality double-blind peer-reviewed original articles.
