»Conclusion«
It is clear that conflicts of interest will not go away. We hope that this module has given the reader help with identifying types of conflicts of interest and suggestions for managing them. It is important to understand that the enterprise of research depends on all of us being vigilant against conflicts of interest that lead to bias and loss of objectivity.
Please understand that this module was not designed to be the definitive piece on the often confusing world of Conflicts of Interest. It was designed with the hope that the reader would become more sensitive to the issues and begin to think about them armed with the strong foundational knowledge we have provided. You should take a moment to review the Learning Objectives for this module and then please feel free to return to the core of the module to cover any information that you have missed.
Finally we have again provided the Challenge Questions, so that you may re-read the questions armed with the knowledge you have acquired and compare your answers at this stage of the module with the answers to the same questions given at the start of the module.
We thank you for your interest and and your attention.
