title: Ethics committees in Canadian hospitals: report of the 1989 survey.
abstract: A survey of English-language hospitals with more than 300 beds in Canada was conducted in 1989 to assess institutional ethics committees. A dramatic increase was found in the growth of such committees, compared with a similar survey taken in 1984. The growth and the activities of institutional ethics committees are discussed, noting the need for more attention for research on their effectiveness.
