Rationale 1: Anonymity occurs when the study design prevents anyone, including the researcher, from linking data to a specific study subject.
Rationale 2: If a person freely agrees to participate in a study, that constitutes informed consent.
Rationale 3: Even if a study subject willingly and knowingly agrees to participate in a study, the researcher has an ethical obligation to protect the subject from harm if the study involves undue physical risks or psychological risks to the subject.
Rationale 4: A subject that feels forced or required to participate in a study is being coerced.
