A law has been in force since 2004, which deals with vetting the ethics of research that involves humans, i.e. the Act

(2003:460) concerning the Ethical Review of Research Involving Humans. The

article aims to analyze the legal preconditions according to this legislation for

In addition to the legal framework, decisions by the Central Ethical Review Board that concern research on children within the social sciences are examined and discussed. (Less)
