    Attitudes of Public Health Academics toward Receiving Funds from for-Profit Corporations: A Systematic Review.Rima T. Nakkash, Sanaa Mugharbil, Hala Alaouié & Rima A. Afifi - 2017 - Public Health Ethics 10 (3).

    Challenges to obtaining parental permission for child participation in a school-based waterpipe tobacco smoking prevention intervention in Qatar.Rima T. Nakkash, Ahmad Al Mulla, Lena Torossian, Roubina Karhily, Lama Shuayb, Ziyad R. Mahfoud, Ibrahim Janahi, Al A. Al Ansari & Rema A. Afifi - 2014 - BMC Medical Ethics 15 (1):70.
    Involving children in research studies requires obtaining parental permission. A school-based intervention to delay/prevent waterpipe use for 7th and 8th graders in Qatar was developed, and parental permission requested. Fifty three percent (2308/4314) of the parents returned permission forms; of those 19.5% of the total (840/4314) granted permission. This paper describes the challenges to obtaining parental permission. No research to date has described such challenges in the Arab world.
