Despite increasing public demand and support for epidemiological, Rothman and other investigators find it increasingly difficult to permission to conduct their studies in hospitals. Considered outsiders most institutions but dependent on patient interviews for much of their, epidemiologists must meet stringent, often unrealistic informed consent set by unsympathetic institutional review boards (IRBs). Since appears unlikely that the boards will relinquish their review prerogatives, author recommends the appointment of epidemiologists to hospital IRBs to members on how to evaluate epidemiologic projects.
