Is your study minimal risk?

Minimal risk means there is minimal risk to the study participants. If your study involves taking blood, biomedical procedures, use of drugs or devices, putting an unusual amount of stress on the participant, or if the participant(s) have a disability, are pregnant, or are prisoners, your study is not minimal risk.
