Answer:

A researcher wants to do a web-based survey of college students to collect information about their sexual behavior and drug use. Direct identifiers will not be collected; however, IP addresses may be present in the data set. Risk of harm should be evaluated by: both the magnitude (or severity) and the probability (or likelihood) of harm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition of risk : Probability of harm x magnitude of harm

Typology :

  • Low probability, high-consequence risks
  • High-probability, low-consequence risks
  • Natural vs home-made risks
  • Voluntary vs involuntary risks

Risk assessment uses facts and assumptions to estimate probability of ahrm from haardous evets and conditions. Risk management depends on socio-economic and political factors as well as the adequacy of scientific evidence. Hazard and risk have geographical aspects.
