ABSTRACT
Objectives@#This study aimed to explore the reasons behind the “resistance” of higher education institutions (HEIs) located in the south Manila area in creating research ethics committees (RECs). It also examined the proportion of researches in these HEIs with human participation. @*Methods@#Research directors underwent key informant interviews while faculty researchers participated in focus group discussions. Universal sampling was employed on all researches in the schools to determine the proportion with human participants and to know if they are ethically “high risk“ or “low risk” in terms of the participants’ involvement. @*Results@#We included ten higher education institutions in this study. Research directors and faculty researchers agreed that their school should have a REC and that studies should undergo ethical evaluation before commencement of data collection. Half of all researches were found to have human participant involvement and, after developing a tool to determine the risk level to participants, this study found that ethically high risk researches are found to represent 10% as a proportion of the total researches done in the schools. @*Conclusion@#Almost all respondents in this study agreed that RECs should be created; however, there are financial challenges that schools face in establishing RECs.

Ethics CommitteesABSTRACT
El objetivo de este trabajo fue construir y presentar evidencia preliminar sobre la validez y confiabilidad de una escala para medir la actitud frente a las personas en situación de discapacidad, tanto física como mental, en instituciones de educación superior. A partir de una muestra de 100 participantes, se validó una escala de 10 ítems con formato Likert, con una consistencia interna evidenciada a partir de un coeficiente alfa de Cronbach de 0,805 y 2 factores que explican un 51,024% de la varianza total y presentaron una interpretación coherente con la definición del constructo. Los resultados muestran que el instrumento propuesto tiene características psicométricas suficientes como para continuar con el estudio de su validación.
