These steps include research question, design of study and protocol, collecting information, Inducements, documentation and communication of study results.The most important ethical considerations of information collection are obtaining informed consent from research subjects and maintaining confidentiality which menans that respect for privacy and autonomy of research subjects are very important, especially during the use of health records, interview with sever patients and research on incompetent patients.
