Abstract

The importance of a written code of ethics for epidemiologists is growing. This paper explores the reasons for developing such a code and the issues that should be addressed during its implementation. It concludes with recommendations on format and content. The latter includes sections on obligations epidemiologists have to subjects, society, funders and employers and colleagues.
