Abstract

Research engaging children and adolescents living with HIV (CALWH) is critical for youth-friendly services and HIV care, and researchers need to ensure that such engagement is ethical. We conducted a systematic review to identify key ethical considerations for the engagement of CALWH in research. The review focused on primary research articles conducted in African countries that examined ethical issues in CALWH engaged in research. Ten studies met the inclusion criteria; the following seven key domains were extracted: 1) justifications for engaging CALWH in research; 2) community involvement; 3) informed consent/assent; 4) caregiver involvement; 5) perceptions of benefits; 6) perception of the risks of involvement; and 7) confidentiality. These domains can inform the ethical engagement of CALWH in research.

让感染艾滋病毒的儿童和青少年参与非洲国家研究的伦理考虑：系统综述。

让感染艾滋病毒的儿童和青少年参与研究（CALWH）对于青年友好服务和艾滋病毒护理至关重要，研究人员需要确保这种参与是合乎道德的。我们进行了一项系统的审查，以确定CALWH参与研究的关键伦理考虑因素。审查的重点是在非洲国家进行的初步研究文章，这些文章审查了CALWH从事研究的伦理问题。10项研究符合纳入标准；提取了以下七个关键领域：1）参与CALWH研究的理由；2）社区参与；3）知情同意；4）护理人员参与；5）利益观念；6）对参与风险的认识；以及7）保密性。这些领域可以为CALWH在研究中的伦理参与提供信息。
