Communicating findings to participants


This section of the Iris Ethics Knowledge Base covers requirements for communicating research findings to participants themselves, addressed in the National Statement at NS 3.1, Element 5. These requirements reflect the principle of respect and the commitment to treating participants as more than a source of data. They are distinct from the wider dissemination of outputs to the public or a commissioning body; see Dissemination planning.
