Feedback:
One strategy that researchers use to protect participants is to conduct a risk/benefit assessment. Such an assessment is designed to evaluate whether the benefits of participating in a study are in line with the costs, be they financial, physical, emotional, or social—i.e., whether the risk/benefit ratio is acceptable. Major potential benefits to participants include access to a potentially beneficial intervention, opportunity to discuss a problem with an objective person, increased knowledge about self or conditions, escape from normal routine, satisfaction in helping others by information gained through study, and direct monetary or material gains. Study participants are not given the opportunity to help determine the research question for the study; that is done by the researchers.
