This 2009 text supersedes the 1991 International Guidelines for Ethical Review of Epidemiological Studies. Its core consists of 24 guidelines with commentaries. A section outlines the historical background and the revision process, and includes an introduction, an account of earlier instruments and guidelines and a statement of general ethical principles. An Appendix lists the items to be included in a research protocol to be submitted for epidemiological research involving human subjects. Also included in the appendices is the World Medical Association's 2008 Declaration of Helsinki. [Ed.].
