Select any peer-reviewed study (i.e., it can be a qualitative or quantitative study). Outline the purpose of the study and how the study was implemented (describe the procedure).

Comment specifically on the following ethical issues in your critique of the study:
- Determine if the participants were vulnerable in any way and explain why or why not.
- If you had to conduct this study at NCU, identify who would be required to grant permissions to conduct the study (e.g., sites, IRBs).

- Comment on how issues of anonymity were dealt with in the study.
- Comment on how issues of confidentiality were dealt with in the study.
- What restrictions did ethical issues play in the design of this study? For example, was the number and type of participant affected by ethical concerns?
