Protect the privacy of participants by limiting data collected from participants.
Dr. Lee encourages Dr. Burgess to recognize that indeed it would be possible for participants to be identified. These are some possible outcomes:
|  | Dr. Burgess attempts to devise a coding strategy that increases the difficulty in identifying participants.
|  | Dr. Burgess reconceptualizes the investigation so that less data from participants is collected and recorded, decreasing the probability of participant identification.
|  | Dr. Burgess recognizes that the requirements needed to insure confidentiality would change the scope of the study by reducing the number of variables collected.
