ROMP Ethics

Explaining Research on Medical Practices (ROMP)

Project Background

Research on Medical Practices (ROMP) involves the randomization of real patients to different treatment options that are considered equally good. The goal is to identify if one treatment is better than the other. The bioethics research team asked us to help explain this basic idea to patients.
