方法2001年2月，我们分层随机抽取了在联邦政府登记的892个IRBs中的89个(10个)。在2001年夏天，我们致电每个独立评审委员会的行政人员，询问有关评审委员会成员的特点和委员会的工作量。89名行政人员中有87人回复了我们的调查(回复率为98%)。对我们的调查做出回应的87个IRBs包括1161名成员。呈现这一数据的最简单方法是将成员的特征描述为1161的百分比。例如，在我们的样本中，652人(56%)是男性；991人(85%)是白人。然而，我们的分析单位不是个别成员；而是董事会本身。为此，我们提供了关于委员会特点的数据。
MethodsIn February 2001, we drew a stratified random sample of 89 of the 892 IRBs registered with the federal government (10). In summer 2001, we telephoned the administrator at each IRB and asked questions about the characteristics of IRB members and the workload of the committee. Eightyseven of the 89 administrators responded to our survey (a response rate of 98%). The 87 IRBs that responded to our survey included 1161 members. The simplest way to present this data would be to describe characteristics of members as percentages of 1161. For example, in our sample 652 (56%) are male; 991 (85%) are white. However, our unit of analysis is not the individual member; it is the boards themselves. For this reason we present data on the characteristics of committees.
