AnnotationThe public needs to be included in debates about what is and is not in its best interest. Until then, ethics committees should suspend their preference for "opt in" recruitment for research projects. This is the third of a four-part series building on a Medical Research Council (MRC) review carried out during 2004-2005 on how to manage consent and confidentiality in using personal information in medical research. Issues considered include: research bias caused by under- or over-representation of groups such as older people; reduced response rates; and decisions at the outset on the viability of the research.
