Institutional review boards (IRBs) prioritize the protection of participants' rights and well-being. Therefore, they are most likely to approve studies where participants are thoroughly informed and debriefed about the study's purpose, procedures, and risks. This ensures that participants understand and consent to the study's terms before joining it. Additionally, participants' confidentiality and anonymity are also essential considerations for approval. High costs for participants and negligible importance of knowledge obtained increase the risk-to-benefit ratio and may not pass IRB review. Studies not having participants' informed consent may harm participants' autonomy and may not gain approval either.
