The burdens of participating in the research will fall on those most likely to benefit from the
research.
YES NO NA
The solicitation of subjects avoids placing a disproportionate share of the burdens of research
on any single group.
YES NO NA
The nature of the research requires or justifies using the proposed subject population.
YES NO NA
If there are groups of people who might be more susceptible to the risks presented by the study
(and who therefore ought to be excluded from the research) the procedures for identifying such
individuals are adequate.
YES NO NA
To the extent that benefits to the subjects are anticipated, they are distributed fairly.
YES NO NA
There are no other groups of potential subjects with a greater need to receive any of the
anticipated benefits.
YES NO NA
To the extent that participation in the study is burdensome, these burdens are distributed fairly.
YES NO NA
The proposed subject population is not already so burdened that it would be unfair to ask them
to accept an extra burden.
YES NO NA
All special physiological, psychological, or social characteristics of the subject group which pose
special risks for them have been identified.
YES NO NA
It is NOT possible to conduct the study with other, less vulnerable subjects.
YES NO NA
The selection process does not overprotect potential subjects who are considered vulnerable
(e.g., children, cognitively impaired, economically or educationally disadvantaged persons,
students of researchers, seriously ill persons) so that they are denied opportunities to participate
in research.
YES NO NA
