Problem:
A researcher wants to explore how children are affected by domestic violence against the mother by testing the effectiveness of children participating in a multi-week discussion group. Children will be enrolled and randomized into one of two groups: A discussion group or wait-list control playgroup. The mothers will fill out a mailed or emailed questionnaire about their child's behavior and emotional state at baseline, and after the last meeting for each group. Which is the best statement regarding research risks of harm? Research risks of harm exist for both the mothers and children; the type of potential harm is different for each group. Research risk of harm is primarily to the children, because the researcher interacts with them directly. Those in the discussion groups could experience intensified fears and negative emotions. Research risks of harm are non-existent because the mothers will only be completing a survey and the children will only be in a discussion group. Research risk of harm is primarily to the mothers, because they could be exposed to further domestic violence if their participation in the study were inadvertently disclosed. Need Assignment Help?
