This book analyses current ethical issues in public health research. Rigorous discussions are informed by insights from standard research ethics, from philosophy and bioethics, and from the author's related research and experience as Chair of Public Health England's Research Governance Review Group. An overarching theme of the book is the trade-off between one's right to decide to participate in public health research versus the communal duty to do so.
