The greatest concern should be physical harm to the participants in the control condition, as they are being asked to consume dairy products without medication even though they may be lactose intolerant, leading to discomfort or digestive issues. It is important for Nabil to monitor the participants closely and ensure that their health and safety are not compromised during the study. While other concerns such as psychological harm or economic harm should also be monitored, they are of lesser importance in this particular case. Legal harm may be a concern if Nabil fails to obtain informed consent or violates any ethical guidelines.
