Question

David wants to recruit full-time working adults older than 35 years of age for his study on sleep and exercise habits. Since he is not recruiting undergraduates from the Introduction to Psychology research pool

A. he does not need to provide any other information about participant recruitment in his IRB application. As long as he includes an appropriate consent form in his application, the IRB will likely not raise questions.

B. he needs to provide an example of a recruitment flyer or advertisement that he will be using to recruit his participants.

C. he is unable to submit an application through the usual route because he is not using the undergraduate research pool. He will need to talk to the IRB committee to determine his next step.

D. his application will be expedited by the IRB because the risks to adults older than 21 is lower than the risks to college students who are younger.

Answer 1

Answer: Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

IRB is the body that is in charge of protecting the rights , human rights of people engaged in research activities.

As long as David fills the appreciate consent form in his IRB application, he does not need to provide any other information.

The risk involved in protecting the rights of undergraduate is more higher compared to graduates and adults within that range. The only possible questioning from IRB is what kind of research does David want to carry out and that would not be a problem.

So option A is the best application to this scenario.
