Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When ethical considerations prevent access to data, a researcher may need to modify the research design to address the ethical concerns. This allows the study to proceed while still upholding ethical standards. Simply shelving the study or revising the research question may not address the underlying ethical concerns, and re-examining the ethical advice may not provide a solution that allows for data access.
