CITI Modules 9-17 Questions and Answers Already Passed

CITI Modules 9-17 Questions and Answers Already Passed prisoners Due to past abuses, which of the following groups of potential research subjects has specific Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) regulations to ensure additional protections when this population is being considered for research. Since this research involves individual subjects who would be considered prisoners and examines the possible causes, effects, and processes of incarceration, the IRB should ensure that the additional requirements for prisoner research are met The purpose of a federally supported research study is to examine the effect of scheduled cell searches on gang violence among men confined to drug treatment facilities under court order. Which of the following best describes the IRB's duties when reviewing this research? one member who is a prisoner or prisoner representative When reviewing federally supported research involving prisoners, an IRB must have at least the following member, in addition to the standard requirements for IRBs to ensure that the prisoners' perspective is represented: research that is relevant to prisoners and their conditions or situations When researchers plan to involve a prisoner population, which best describes the type of federally supported research that may be conducted? Honor the child's decision A federally funded research study involving children 8 to 12 years old involves collecting a single voided urine sample to assess the frequency of asymptomatic proteinuria (higher amounts of protein in the urine without any signs or symptoms of illness or infection). Your IRB has determined that assent of children age 8 and older is required for the study. A 10 year old firmly declined to participate in the study described above. Which of the following procedures best describes the action to be taken by the investigator? No more than minimal risk to the child A federally funded research study involving children 8 to 12 years old involves collecting a single voided urine sample to assess the frequency of asymptomatic proteinuria (higher amounts of protein in the urine without any signs or symptoms of illness or infection). According to 45 CFR 46, an IRB's risk assessment would likely conclude that this study involves: Assent of the child and permission of both parents are required. An investigator proposes a study to determine the clinical relevance of a new assay technique to measure minimal residual disease (MRD) in adolescent (age 14-16) cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The study requires that two additional bone marrow aspirates be performed during the course of chemotherapy. The subject's chemotherapy will not be altered based on the results of the assay technique measures. However, future patients with cancer would benefit from improved interventions based on study findings. The IRB determined that the activity was a minor increase over minimal risk. Which of the following statements best describes the IRB approval requirements for involving adolescent cancer patients in the research study? The pregnant woman and the father of the fetus. A research project is designed to evaluate a new experimental type of fetal surgery to correct diaphragmatic hernia in the fetus (a potentially life-threatening condition for the baby) prior to delivery. This research is directed toward the fetus as subject to meet the health needs of the fetus. The pregnant woman is otherwise healthy. The investigator must obtain consent from whom? There is compelling evidence that inclusion would be inappropriate with respect to the health of the subjects According to current NIH Guidelines, which of the following is adequate justification for exclusion of women from NIH funded research? The pregnant woman only. Investigators wish to evaluate a new treatment for eclampsia (a life threatening condition in pregnant women) in women 30 - 50 years of age. The research is intended to directly benefit the pregnant woman who is otherwise healthy and competent. The investigator must obtain consent from whom? A study of the genetic links between DNA samples found at a prehistoric central Asian archeological site and west coast Native American tribes. The results from research have been known to produce harms to members of the sampled population who do not actually participate in the research study. An example of the type of research that could result in group harms is: - Collaborative IRB review - Ongoing consultation - Planning disclosure of research results - Community consultation Which of the following practices can be effective in minimizing group harms? Phase 3 clinical trial of a new anticancer agent in middle-aged women diagnosed with breast cancer Which of the following studies has the LEAST potential to create group harm? Significant risk device A sponsor prop
