Section 8 – Estimate <strong>of</strong> the Risks <strong>of</strong> the Proposed Research<br />

• Please complete questions (a) to (f). If you answer YES to any <strong>of</strong> these questions, thus indicating that there is<br />

risk involved, then you must complete the text box to indicate the procedures that you will put in place to<br />

minimize risk.<br />

• NOTE that risk in this context refers to situations that are not normally experienced by individuals in every day<br />

life. Undergraduate research should not be including elements <strong>of</strong> risk in any form. Psy-REC is not authorized to<br />

review protocols that contain elements <strong>of</strong> risk. If your research protocol falls beyond minimal risk, Psy-REC<br />

must forward it to the Beh-REB for review. We strongly suggest that you design your projects within the<br />

bounds <strong>of</strong> minimal risk.<br />

Section 9 – Confidentiality <strong>of</strong> Data<br />

• Please ensure that you do not confuse anonymity with confidentiality while completing this section. Do not<br />

guarantee your participants anonymity if you cannot provide it!<br />

• The statements below for Sections 9(a) and 9(b) should be sufficient for many projects, but do not apply to<br />

small sample qualitative projects where transcript release is not obtained. Please refer to the alternatives<br />

provided for these situations. In all instances ensure that you make any modifications necessary to encompass<br />

the particulars <strong>of</strong> your proposed study<br />

Section 9(a)<br />

All data will be in the form <strong>of</strong> SPECIFY THE SPECIFIC FORM OF YOUR DATA HERE – examples include<br />

response latencies, questionnaire responses, number <strong>of</strong> trials completed correctly, interview transcripts,<br />

audio/video tapes. Data will be coded using arbitrary participant numbers that will not be associated with any<br />

names or personally identifying information. Consent forms will not be linked with the data. All data will be<br />

summarized in aggregate form.<br />

Section 9(b)<br />

The data and consent forms will be stored securely by the supervisor at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong>. Normally<br />

the data will be destroyed beyond recovery once the course has been completed. In instances where the data is<br />

published in an academic journal and/or presented at an academic conference, the data will be stored for a minimum<br />

<strong>of</strong> five years after the completion <strong>of</strong> the study. When the data is no longer required it will be destroyed beyond<br />

recovery.<br />
