approval to use human subjects
All research activities involving the use of human subjects must be reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) before data collection can begin. Susan Metosky, Senior Compliance Coordinator at the ASU Office of Knowledge Enterprise Development explains the process for Dr. Elizabeth Segal’s Graduate Social Work Seminar. The graduate students ask critical questions about the process especially when working with high risk participants, from teenagers to prostitutes.
