You have already answered this question Minimal-risk research projects do not need to be reviewed by a full REB. A delegated review may be conducted by one or more REB members. False (your answer) True - True A new virus is spreading among human populations, and the mechanisms that explain how it spreads are not well defined. One theory is that the virus is spread from person to person in workplaces due to mosquitoes. If this theory is true, installing mosquito nets in workplaces would sufficiently protect employees from this new virus. However, the scientific data do not allow for the moment to determine if this hypothesis is correct. While an epidemic is raging in a foreign country, a Canadian researcher affiliated with an institution eligible for agency funding proposes a research protocol whose objective is to verify this hypothesis. The study methodology basically consists of recruiting employees working for different employers and randomly assigning them to group A (use of mosquito nets) or group B (control group not using mosquito nets). Subsequently, the relative effectiveness of the nets will be evaluated accordi - NOPE The researcher should end the study, as it now has no potential benefit. You have already answered this question A researcher from a Canadian institution eligible for agency funding wants to determine the frequency of cannabis use among high school students in Canada. The researcher plans to create a website that will contain a secure link to a survey that students who wish to participate in the research can complete. For scientific reasons, only students who have ever used cannabis will be invited to participate in the survey and answer it anonymously (answer all questions with YES or NO). The researcher believes that it is likely that some high school students who will respond to the survey come from an Aboriginal community. However, the researcher does not intend to include Aboriginal identity in his analysis of the results. In addition, it will not be possible for the researcher to know which participants come from Aboriginal communities, since the research does not include socio-demo - NO Which of the following statements is true? (choose all that apply) According to the TCPS2, consent should be voluntary, informed and ongoing. (your answer) In research with underage participants, parents always have the final say on their participation.In certain circumstances, deviations from the general principles of consent are acceptable. In certain circumstances, waivers of the requirement to document the consent process are acceptable. In the vast majority of cases, consent must be obtained prior to a participant's participation in research. (your answer) Wrong - A researcher from a Canadian institution eligible for agency funding wants to determine the frequency of cannabis use among high school students in Canada. The researcher plans to create a website that will contain a secure link to a survey that students who wish to participate in the research can complete. For scientific reasons, only students who have ever used cannabis will be invited to participate in the survey and answer it anonymously (answer all questions with YES or NO). The REB administrator considers the proposed research project to be minimal risk research. It therefore determines that a delegated evaluation can be done rather than an evaluation in the full committee. Is the REB administrator correct in believing that this is minimal risk research and in providing for delegated review rather than full committee review? NOPE YES (your answer) - NOPE A full committee evaluation would be preferable in this case since the study will be done with minors and the questions asked of the participants could lead them to reveal personal information, sensitive information and to admit to having taken part in activities illegal. Also, it is illegal in some places to involve minors in research.

Some REB members disagreed with the researcher's methodological decision to exclude from the study students who had never used cannabis. According to them, such an exclusion will decrease the probability that the researcher manages to publish the results in a prestigious journal. Should the REB compel the researcher to modify the research protocol for this reason? NOPE YES (your answer) - NOPE The REB does not have the mandate to assess a study based on the likelihood that it will be published. However, the REB may require modifications to the protocol if it deems that the proposed method is likely to fail to answer the question under study and, therefore, the protocol does not strike a good balance between risks and the potential benefits.The current version of the Tri-Council Policy Statement was adopted in 1998 by Canada's three research funding agencies. False (your answer)
