International Research - SBE (ID 509)-2024

International Research - SBE (ID 509)-2024 Which of the following is the least important activity when protecting human subjects in international research? - answer-Assessing transportation conditions It is essential that researchers have sufficient knowledge of the local research context to be able to design and carry out research in a way that protects the rights and welfare of the subjects. This includes knowledge about unique risks subjects might face given the local socio-economic conditions. Community consultation is particularly important when research has the potential to affect the community as a whole and when there are gatekeepers for the community (for example, a tribal council). - answerA professor at Big State University proposes to study attitudes about obesity in Chile by giving subjects in Chile surveys to complete. Which is a question that the Big State University IRB should ask the researcher in order to determine if this study should be reviewed by a local Chilean IRB or ethics committee, as well as the Big State University IRB? - answer-Will the researchers have collaborators at the research site abroad? There are several factors that determine what kinds of review are needed for international research, including if the researcher have collaborators at the research site abroad. If international research is carried out without the involvement of foreign collaborators the research may be reviewed by the researcher's home institution. The need for local review will be determined by policies and regulations rather than by U.S. law. When U.S. researchers collaborate with researchers at foreign institutions, determining the appropriate review type and method depends on whether the collaborating institution is engaged in the research. The other responses are incorrect because they do not help the IRB determine where the research should be reviewed. - answerA researcher proposes to conduct a study at a foreign site. The research has been determined to be exempt from the federal regulations by institutional policy. According to federal regulations, is review required at the foreign site? - answer-If a proposed study qualifies for exemption, federal regulations do not require review at the foreign site where it will be conducted.
