There is no one correct answer. Potential answers include: For calculating the risk-benefit ration, the Health and Human Services Office of Research Integrity. This government website has guidelines, standards, regulations, and educational materials related to designing and carrying out ethical research, especially with regards to human subjects.
For better understanding the concept of beneficence, a generalized resource like the Sage Research Methods encyclopedia would be appropriate. This would provide a scholarly definition and example of beneficence. If a more detailed understanding was still needed, further resources could be explored, but this would be a good baseline to start from.
