Agraduate student wants to examine the effect of print media versus televised media on individuals' position on several social issues. the superintendent of a local work release facility, a family friend, will allow the graduate student access to the prison population to her quickly accrue subjects. the student's irb should: approve this project since the risk appears to be no more than minimal. not approve this project because the prisoners are merely a population of convenience for the student. approve this project since the superintendent is the ultimate authority on what happens in his facility. approve this project but submit it for federal review.

The correct answer is:  Not approve this project because the prisoners are merely a population of convenience for the student, despite the project seems to generate a risk considered no more than mininal.

One of the most important guidelines of IRB involving human subjetcs is: Safeguard the rights, safety, and well-being of all trial subjects. Special attention should be paid to trials that may include vulnerable subjects, such as pregnant women, children, prisoners, the elderly, or persons with diminished comprehension.These safeguards are found in 45 CFR 46, Subpart C. Subpart C applies to all research that includes any individual who is or becomes a prisoner while participating in a research study.

In this situation, the superintendent turned out to be a family friend. Despite his position, he would be allowed to do it so.
