The Guide addresses methodological, legal and ethical challenges of research on mental health rights. The central aim is for researchers to find basic coverage for studies that involve persons with psychosocial and intellectual disabilities in any role. Nevertheless, researchers may find the Guide and particularly the chapter on legal and ethical considerations useful for research in other fields as well.
The Guide is not intended to be applicable for clinical research. However, it can be applied to clinical trials whenever a particular section is relevant.
