A graduate student wants to examine the effect of print media versus televised media on individuals' position on several social issues. The superintendent of a local work release facility, a family friend, will allow the graduate student access to the prison population to help her quickly accrue subjects. The student's IRB should:
a. Approve this project since the risk appears to be no more than minimal.
b. Approve this project because the superintendent is the ultimate authority on what happens in his facility.
c. Not approve this project because the prisoners are merely a population of convenience for the student.
d. Approve this project but submit it for federal review.

Respuesta :

C. Not approve this project because the prisoners are merely a population of convenience for the student
