# Ethics & Research Integrity (lancet-ethics)
## When to trigger
- Preparing the ethics, contributions, conflicts, funding, and data-sharing statements.
- The manuscript lacks a Declaration of interests or a role-of-the-funding-source statement.
- Sex/gender or race/ethnicity reporting is missing where the study warrants it.
- A reviewer or editor flags consent, integrity, or funder-influence concerns.
## Ethics approval and consent
- [ ] Named **ethics committee / institutional review board** approval(s), with the approving body and (where available) reference number, for **every** participating site/country.
- [ ] **Informed consent** obtained (or a documented waiver with justification); consent for publication where identifiable.
- [ ] Conduct stated to follow the **Declaration of Helsinki** (and Good Clinical Practice for trials).
