following studies would it NOT be appropriate to provide subjects with
information about missing elements of consent: Correct Ans - A study

team.
A waiver of the requirement for documentation of informed consent may be
granted when: Correct Ans - The only record linking the subject and
the research is the consent document and the principal risk is a breach of

As part of the consent process, the federal regulations require researchers to:

reported because it is unrelated to participation in the study.
According to OHRP, a problem is an "unanticipated problem" when it meets
which of the following criteria: Correct Ans - Unexpected, related or
possibly related to the research, suggests the research puts subjects or others
at greater risk
A researcher conducting behavioral research collects individually identifiable
sensitive information about illicit drug use and other illegal behaviors by
surveying college students. One of the subjects is in an automobile accident
two weeks after participating in the research study. Is this an example of an
unanticipated problem that requires reporting to the IRB? Correct Ans -
No, this does not need to be reported because it was assessed by the
researcher as unrelated to the research study.
