Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Informed consent is a process in which the research participant is given information about the study, including its purpose, procedures, risks, and benefits. The participant then has the opportunity to ask questions and decide whether or not to participate. This process allows subjects to weigh the risks and benefits of participating, as stated in option A.

Option B is incorrect because informed consent is still required even if the results are kept confidential.

Option C is partially correct. Informed consent must disclose the true purpose of the research, but it also includes other information as mentioned above.

Option D is incorrect because informed consent is required in all research studies, including criminal justice research.
