Review the main ideas about risks and safeguards. Be sure to ask any questions you have about the main ideas.
It is important to keep people safe in research.
Researchers have to balance the good (benefits) and bad (harms or risks) things that can happen to people when they are in research.
Every research study has different good and bad things that can happen.
The good and bad things might also be different for different people in a research study.
Safeguards are the things researchers do or use to keep people safe when they are in research.
Practice using these ideas with the discussion questions.
