- Complex Consent Processes: Ensuring that participants fully understand the consent process can be difficult, especially in studies involving vulnerable populations. - Data Protection: Maintaining the confidentiality of sensitive data requires robust systems and practices. - Balancing Risks and Benefits: Researchers must carefully balance the potential risks to participants against the anticipated benefits of the research.
