Ethical statement Clause Samples
An Ethical Statement clause sets out the ethical standards and principles that parties to an agreement are expected to uphold. Typically, this clause outlines commitments to integrity, fairness, compliance with laws, and sometimes specific prohibitions such as avoiding bribery, discrimination, or conflicts of interest. By clearly articulating these expectations, the clause helps ensure that all parties conduct themselves responsibly and ethically throughout the duration of the agreement, thereby reducing the risk of unethical behavior and promoting trust.

Ethical statement. The trial was approved by the Emory University (Atlanta), and Xavier University (Bhubaneswar) IRB; after reviewing the study protocol, information sheet and survey tools. The survey was administered only to households that had a latrine and consented for the survey. All households with children under the age of five were requested to have a primary caregiver of the child answer questions about child feces disposal practices and determinants. If the primary caregiver of the child was different from the person who initially responded to the survey, they were asked for their consent to participate in the survey. The data was deidentified before use and was secured using password protection. Data from 806 households with children less than five years of age were included in the final analysis. Majority of respondents for the survey were the primary caregivers (87.7%), and secondary caregivers (11%) of the child; few were other members of the household (1.2%). Most of the respondents were female (90.3%) and the mean age of respondents was 41.2 (std. 14.6). Twenty percent of the children were 0-11 months of age, 17% were 12-23 months, 24.7% were of 24-35 months, 19.2% were 36-47 months, and 18.6% were 48-59 months of age. Approximately half of the children were females. In 29.9% of the households the female head of the household never attended school and only 2.2% received senior secondary and 2.5% received graduate/postgraduate level of education. Thirty three percent households were in the fifth (richest) quintile of socio-economic status and latrines were being consistently used by all members in 39% of the households and nobody used a latrine in 21.6% of the households. The mean action knowledge score was 3.8(0.6), mean social norms score was 3.1(1.2), mean beliefs score was 3.5(0.8), mean motivation score was 2.7(0.9) and, mean risk perception score was 2.9 (0.6). Other demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the household and the children are presented in Table 1. The prevalence of safe child feces disposal (inclusive of children who defecated in a latrine) was 19% (153/806) among all children under five. Among the non-latrine using children, the disposal was safe only for 6.7% (46/691). A detailed presentation of the outcome by age group and gender category is available in Table 4. Among all the children under five, 14.3% (115/806) defecated in a latrine. Among the non- latrine users 1% (7/691) defecated in a potty, 9.7% (67/691) in a cloth nappy...
