Guidelines for research among Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders were approved by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) in 1991. The recommendations seem more stringent than those previously published by the NHMRC for medical research in general. Several States independently have proposed or promulgated similar guidelines for Aboriginal research. This paper indicates the themes common to such guidelines and how they seek both to redress past faults and to encourage a greater participation and authority by Aboriginal communities when research is conducted among them. It is suggested that the guidelines raise questions about the control of research and the role of consumer groups that are of far-reaching importance to medicine.
1991年，澳大利亚国家卫生与医学研究委员会（NHMRC）批准了针对原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民的研究指南。这些建议似乎比NHMRC之前发布的一般医学研究指南更为严格。几个州已经独立提出或颁布了类似的原住民研究指南。本文指出了这些指南的共同主题，以及它们如何在对原住民社区进行研究时，既纠正过去的错误，又鼓励原住民社区更多地参与并拥有更大的自主权。有人认为，这些指南引发了关于研究控制以及消费者团体作用的问题，这些问题对医学具有深远的重要性。
