Such
conflicts of interest may arise out of commitments involving honoraria, consultant
relationships, participation in a speakers bureau, stock holdings or options,
royalties, ownership of a company or patent, research contracts or grants, and,
in some instances, being an official representative of another organization.
Key
Guiding Principles
1.
SPR members should seek to determine their own, their clients', and other stakeholders'
interests concerning the conduct and outcomes of their research. Such interests
may be related to the advancement of their careers, or may be financial or political
in nature.
2.
SPR members should disclose relevant sources of financial support, and pertinent
personal or professional interests, to their employers or clients, to the sponsors
of their professional work, and in public speeches and written publications.
3.
SPR members should not misrepresent their procedures, data or findings. They should
report their findings fully and should not omit relevant data. They should report
study results regardless of whether these results support or contradict expected
outcomes. Within reasonable limits, they should attempt to prevent or correct
any substantial misuses of their work by others.
4.
SPR members should take particular care to state all relevant limitations that
may bear on or bias the findings and interpretation of their research, including
underlying assumptions, theories, methods, measures, and research designs.
5.
After research results are published, SPR members should not unreasonably withhold
the data on which their conclusions are based from other competent professionals
who seek to verify their substantive claims through reanalysis, and who intend
to use such data only for that purpose. Study data should be shared as long as
the confidentiality of the participants can be adequately protected, obligations
to collaborators as well as community and institutional partnerships are met,
and unless legal rights concerning proprietary data preclude their release. To
that end, SPR members should keep data available and retain documentation relating
to the research for seven (7 ) years after publication or dissemination of results.
Special
Provisions
1. Candidates for any elected office will sign a Conflict of Interest Disclosure
Statement before the election, and this statement will be publicly available.
All
SPR Board members, Officers and the Chairs of all Board Committees, will update
their Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statment on a yearly basis.
2.
All individuals submitting manuscripts for publication in SPRs journal Prevention
Science will submit a signed Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement.
3.
All individuals submitting abstracts for presentation at SPR sponsored meetings
will submit a signed Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement.
4.
When conducting an SPR sponsored review of prevention programs, reviewers are
required to disclose any of the above conflicts of interest, and when conflicts
of interest are of sufficient concern they should not participate in the evaluation
of summary.
