Summary
A new competency framework, FRESCO, was developed for health research ethics (HRE) education. This framework guides educational programs to improve HRE capacity and ensure intended outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Bioethics
- Medical Education
- Research Integrity
Background:
- Health research ethics (HRE) education is crucial for capacity building.
- Existing educational programs lack a standardized outcomes framework.
Purpose of the Study:
- To empirically develop a competency framework for health research ethics education.
- To provide guidance for refining HRE educational programs.
Main Methods:
- Mixed methods approach, including group concept mapping.
- Survey of international experts to validate the framework.
Main Results:
- Developed the Framework for Research Ethics Studies Competencies and Outcomes (FRESCO).
- FRESCO comprises seven competency domains and 27 subdomains.
- International experts highly rated FRESCO's relevance to HRE.
Conclusions:
- FRESCO offers a structured approach to HRE education.
- The framework can enhance recruitment, assessment, and performance measures in HRE programs.
- Implementation of FRESCO can ensure HRE educational programs achieve desired effects.
