Important considerations for field research: ethical challenges reviewed. One solution would be to have embedded outbreak research preparedness protocols. gh.bmj.com/content/6/7/e0… @Ammer_B @JeremyFarrar @mvankerkhove
A common discussion, also in our country is “ is this need to know or nice to know?” . And the answer to that question may differ depending on your perspective. In my view, this is a key barrier to generating important and high quality field data.
Particularly when the outcomes do not directly impact on the ongoing situation. For instance tracking mutations during a large bird flu outbreak that led to mild infections in humans (h7n7 in 2003) was challenging. Same with follow up of sars cov 2 on mink farms
Same - in my experience- for trying to understand transmission modes of infections in nursing homes ( noro in this case). Yet data generated in duch studies are extremely important to understand how viruses behave. So we need to figure out how to keep doing that @YvanDuijnhoven
