[Guest guest]

the answer to the exercise is as follows-Study A- (schizophrenia trial) , involved psychological,

social and physical risks. Risks to subjects include the

possibility that the new medication may have serious adverse effects(physical),

some of which

may be irreversible; patients assigned to placebo will be deprived of needed

treatment for a month; patients may suffer from continuing hallucinations or

paranoia(psychological); patients may be at increased risk of suicide; and,

finally, patients may pose a risk to others(social).

Study B- (sex questionnaire) posed variety of both

psychological and social risks to participants: teachers or parents may become aware of

undisclosed sexual activity; others may become aware of same-sex relationships(social);

and participants might become aware that they are at risk of developing HIV(psychological).Well done Tarun.kunda
