摘要

我们探索在学术环境中进行的全球卫生研究和实践中的责任和诚信概念。我们的具体动机来自于一个临床研究小组最近发表的一项研究,该研究涉及在加纳祈祷营提供精神卫生保健服务。由于祈祷营侵犯人权的历史,这项研究引起了争议,因此受到了几次高调的批评。我们对“联合力量”研究提供了一个更慈善的评估。我们的分析有三个主要目标。首先,我们回应批评,认为联合力量研究小组需要在何烈山祈祷营侵犯人权的问题上保持某种形式的道德“清白”。我们认为,对于在严重资源限制下工作的学术全球卫生从业人员来说,什么是合理和负责任的追求是一个复杂的命题,没有一个放之四海而皆准的伦理答案。其次,我们提供了一个解释,为什么联合力量研究团队设计了这个项目,尽管他们明显容易受到伦理问题的影响。我们认为,“联合力量”研究在道德上是有风险的,但在道德上是认真的努力,以接触被忽视的病人群体,并促进祈祷营工作人员的行为改变。第三,我们确定了一个开放的伦理问题,这个问题源于研究人员对实用主义的承诺,据我们所知,在之前发表的关于联合力量项目的讨论中没有提到过。也就是说,向祈祷营工作人员不完全披露信息是否合理?最后,我们对追求全球卫生的有益目标的道德操守概念进行了更广泛的反思。

Research and Responsibility in Global Health: An Analysis of the Joining Forces Study in Ghana.

We explore conceptions of responsibility and integrity in global health research and practice as it is being carried out in the academic setting. Our specific motivation derives from the recent publication of a study by a clinical research team involving the delivery of mental health care services in a Ghanaian prayer camp. The study was controversial on account of the prayer camp's history of human rights abuses and therefore was met with several high-profile critiques. We offer a more charitable evaluation of the Joining Forces study. Our analysis has three primary goals. First, we respond to criticism suggesting that the Joining Forces research team needed to maintain some form of morally "clean hands" in relation to the human rights abuses at Mount Horeb prayer camp. We argue that, for academic global health practitioners working under severe resource constraints, what is reasonable and responsible to pursue is a complex proposition without a one-size-fits-all ethical answer. Second, we offer an explanation for why the Joining Forces study team designed the project as they did in spite of their obvious vulnerability to ethical concern. We argue that the Joining Forces study was a morally risky, but ethically earnest effort to reach a neglected patient population and promote behavior change in prayer camp staff. Third, we identify an open ethical question born of the researchers' commitment to pragmatism that, to our knowledge, has not been previously addressed in published discussion of the Joining Forces project. Namely, was the incomplete disclosure of information to prayer camp staff defensible? We close with a broader reflection on the notion of moral integrity in the pursuit of the salutary aims of global health.
