Human Subjects |  | Case Study Review: Required |
|  |  | Participation in a research study must be voluntary; subjects (students) can not be required to participate. If the principal wants to require students to participate in the drug prevention education program, it must be reconfigured to be a part of the school curriculum versus a research project. If the UNH researcher wants to collect evaluative data from subjects as part of a research project, he must get consent for each student to participate from their legal representative (parent/guardian) first, and then the assent of each student. If either the legal representative or student declines to participate, the student can not be forced to participate in the research project.
