Some important obligations and responsibilities of epidemiologists to research subjects include protecting the welfare of research subjects; proper conduct relating to informed consent; protecting privacy and maintaining confidentiality; communicating pertinent aspects of the research to study subjects; respect for the cultural setting in which the research is conducted; informing the study population about risk factors that the investigation discloses; and ensuring that economic or political consequences of the research findings do not harm the study subjects. These are discussed in this paper in the context of basic principles of biomedical ethics.
保护研究对象的福利；与知情同意相关的适当行为；保护隐私并保持保密性；向研究对象传达研究的相关方面；尊重开展研究的文化背景；告知研究人群调查所揭示的风险因素；以及确保研究结果的经济或政治后果不会伤害研究对象。本文将在生物医学伦理学基本原则的背景下对这些内容进行讨论。
