The first four parts consist of twelve formal papers covering issues such as ethical and legal considerations surrounding the use of human subjects, environmental controls and safeguards, and electrical surveillance and integrity. Following each paper is a summary of the discussion that took place after the paper was presented to the symposium participants. Part five is a panel discussion composed of four brief presentations and an exchange of comments among panel participants. The purpose of these proceedings is to help identify, through open discussion, the problems connected with using human subjects in clinical research.
