seminario Jane Hutton al Politecnico di Torino
Mercoledi` 6 luglio 2005, Ore 16, Aula Buzano, Dipartimento di
Matematica, Politecnico di Torino
Titolo:
Ethics of medical research in developing countries: the role of
international codes of conduct
Relatore:
Professor JL Hutton, Department of Statistics, The University of Warwick
Sommario:
Many statisticians work with an informal codes of ethics, and are
probably unaware of the existence or content of rules which have been
drawn up to govern statistical practice. Medical statisticians will be
aware of codes of conduct for medical research, and most codes of
professional ethics have some dependence on evidence. Statisticians
therefore have a valuable contribution to make to debates on ethics
which concern scientific soundness, data and perceptions of risk.
A lively debate on the revision of the widely respected Declaration of
Helsinki, to reflect issues arising from research in developing
countries, particularly HIV research, centres on questions of study
design, data analysis and assessment of risk.
Collectively owned multi-professional work requires each of the various
professions to take responsibility for the conduct of the research, and
the impact that it might have. Statisticians share important
responsibilities in maintaining ethical medical research in all countries.

in survival analysis.
She has major collaborations in cerebral palsy and epilepsy. Her work
with Professor Peter Pharoah and Dr Allan Colver, on life expectancy in
cerebral palsy, has had a substantial effect on the size of awards in
