Use of Human Subjects in Research  

Case Study  

Survey Research 

Choice A.

The application is expedited and approved on the basis of minimal risk to participants.

This is not a likely outcome.

While the participants in your survey project will not be asked to do anything that is physically harmful, the information involved deals with sexuality, and is highly sensitive and personal.

The privacy and confidentiality of the subjects in this study and of the collected data requires careful consideration. It is unlikely therefore that this project would be approved on an expedited basis.
