Question

Which of the following is not required of an anthropologist before starting fieldwork that includes research with human subjects?

a-receive approval from the Institutional Review Board
b-publish a list of full names of all research participants
c-assess risk of negative impact on research participants
d-ensure you are aware of and in compliance with host country requirements
obtain informed consent from all research participants

Answer 1

An anthropologist does not need to publish a list of full names of all research participants before starting fieldwork; this would breach confidentiality and is not required by IRBs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The requirement of an anthropologist which is not needed before starting fieldwork that includes research with human subjects is to publish a list of full names of all research participants. Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval, risk assessment, compliance with host country requirements, and obtaining informed consent are all mandatory. Publishing a list of participants' full names would actually violate the privacy and confidentiality protocols established by the IRB, as anonymity is a key protection granted to subjects in research studies.
