Tender Details

The study aims to establish a structured ethical framework that identifies: 1) a typology of different kinds of screening (e.g. population-based and targeted/risk stratified cancer screening, carrier screening, prenatal and preimplantation genetic screening, neonatal screening) and early testing, (e.g. for Alzheimer's disease and autism spectrum disorder) and their possible characteristics (curable non curable disease, invasive test or not, ….) 2) the ethical questions/key challenges it raises (cfr. infra) and the respective normative answers/considerations. it represents a practical normative ethical framework that can be used as a basis for future kce reports on screening initiatives/existing programs and can guide the associated policy-making processes. the framework addresses ethical considerations at the societal level (e.g. is it ethically justifiable to spend public health resources on screening programs with limited or uncertain (cost-)effectiveness or resulting in major increase in budget and workload because of incidental findings?) as well as on an individual patient and relatives level (e.g. questions regarding informed consent, autonomy and privacy). a first practical application of the ethical framework will be carried out for the planned kce report on lung cancer screening. category (cpv code): research and development services and related consultancy services (73000000)
