Question

A professor at big state university proposes to study attitudes about obesity in chile by giving subjects in chile surveys to complete. Which is a question that the big state university irb should ask the researcher in order to determine if this study should be reviewed by a local chilean irb or ethics committee as well as the big state university irb? Citi

Answer 1

I believe the answer is: Will the researcher have collaborators at the research site abroad?

Ethical standard requires researchers to had a method to communicate with local language if the researches are conducted in foreign countries. Collabolators could be filled with external teams that able to interpret both languages, which would be deemed as sufficient by IRB.
