Question

A researcher conducts a focus group to learn about attitudes towards hygiene and disease prevention. Two weeks after the focus group, the researcher learns one of the subjects had a heart attack at home and was hospitalized, but made a full recovery. Based on HHS regulations, should the researcher report this event to the IRB? No, this does not need to be reported because the subject had the heart attack when they were home, not at the focus group. No, this does not need to be reported because the subject recovered. No, this does not need to be reported because it is unrelated to participation in the study. No, this does not need to be reported because two weeks have passed.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option 3.

Explanation:

The given research is related to the attitudes towards hygiene and disease prevention. As it mentioned that one of the subjects had a heart stroke at home after the research.

This incident is not related to the participation in the study as it occurs after the research and also unrelated to the subject that is the attitude toward hygiene and disease prevention.

Thus, the correct answer is option 3.
