Human Ethics Committees:
• closest in profile to most study participants
• most objective members of the HEC
• not too caught up with scientific validity

Non-technical Members: Challenges they
face:
the review and evaluation process,
They cannot understand the scientific
nuances of protocols; a drawback in:
the review and evaluation process,
a proper risk-benefit analysis,
judging the causality and relatedness of SAEs

The challenges can be minimized by
• re-introducing the Ethical Questionnaire,
• forming Non-technical Member Societies• forming Non-technical Member Societies
• creating glossaries of technical terms
• assigning appropriate protocols in the agenda
