Every researcher has a responsibility to protect the participants in an investigation. As part of their investigation researchers ask specific questions then use their intuition, curiosity, training, and statistics to answer the research question. Good scientists do not simply make decisions; instead, they use tools to determine the best course of action to make informed decisions. This paper will identify a research article, use a decision tree to map three decision points that informed the data collection process, and focus on the feasibility and ethical dimension of the study.
