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. |
