A professor at Big State University proposes to study attitudes about obesity in Chile by giving subjects in Chile surveys to co
mplete. 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?
"Will the researcher have collaborators at the research site abroad?"
Explanation:
IRB is an administrative organization responsible for overseeing scientific research involving human beings. This organization is responsible for reviewing all research steps and determining whether the study is within the legal precepts of the country. Each research institute should have an IRB-like body that should be responsible for research conducted in their own country.
Based on this, we can state that the Big State University IRB needs to know if the researcher, shown in the above question, will have collaborators at the overseas research site to decide whether a review by the local Chilean IRB or ethics committee as well as the Big State University IRB.
I would say Maria has depression. Depression can cause short term memory issues and can cause you to have poor judgment! This may not be correct though.
It also sounds dementia but the post says she cannot have dementia.
