Thanks for asking for clarification about publication of statistics, etc., and specifically for the question:
"informed consent of parents and IRB approval is only necessary if you plan on publishing results from your survey"
May I inquire as to the origin of this quote?
I also do want to clarify that I am not meaning any disrespect or to come across too forcefully here. I guess that I am just not okay with the 'we didn't do anything wrong' feel I am getting from everyone with whom I've spoken/e-mailed. I truly do not think that there was malice involved. However, one can admit that one screwed up without malice.
Okay, and someone else chime in here already
!
