Abstract
This Exemption Criteria Document No 2 (February 2017) is for surveys based on the standardized intersectional protocols approved by the MSF ERB.
At the MSF Ethics Review Board (ERB) meeting in 2012, the handling of ethics clearance for routine surveys was discussed. The ERB decided that surveys for vaccination, nutrition and mortality that make use of the ERB-approved standardized survey protocols do not require ERB review if the Medical Directors take responsibility for addressing the ethics issues, as described in this document.
