Check Case Studies on Inclusion Across the Lifespan
As you plan your human subjects research, use the Inclusion Across the Lifespan Case Studies to help you determine if your proposed study population is appropriate. Following the Inclusion Across the Lifespan policy, NIH-supported research must include individuals of all ages unless there is a scientific or ethical reason not to include a specific age group.
The Case Studies summarize the scientific and ethical aspects of age-related inclusion in four fictional study scenarios. Consider Case #1:
Study summary: An investigator is planning a study analyzing stress and anxiety levels in children involved in care...
