The IRB is charged, by federal, state, and local institutions with ensuring that principal investigators adequately protect the health and well-being of individuals whose participation may cause them to be at increased risk to hazards, defined broadly as physical, psychologic, sociologic, and legal. Thus, it is impossible to conduct clinical research in humans that would not affect one or more of these areas.

Hospitalization of patients will reduce exposure of family members and the public, but will increase occupational doses to hospital staff. There is also a potential hazard that the patient can have an antibiotic-resistant infection. Isolation in a special ward room may also be a psychological burden to some patients and their family members. Cost-benefit analysis should be considered, including monetary costs as well as psychological and other health consequences (Table 100.8).
