PRENATAL METHAMPHETAMINE EXPOSURE AND SCHOOL AGE OUTCOME

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 这是一项中等风险的研究，有可能使接触冰毒的儿童及其家庭受益。虽然这项研究对参与者的风险不超过最低限度，但该建议最好被归类为中等风险研究，因为我们研究的是脆弱人群(接触甲基苯丙胺的儿童)，受试者面临的风险是对研究程序感到不适的领域。在发展评估中，孩子可能会感到苦恼或无聊，父母可能会因为敏感的问题而苦恼。这些风险在使用相同程序的类似研究中很少观察到，主要是因为在研究的前三年，受试者与研究审查员和面试者之间已经建立了积极的关系。失去保密性是参与者面临的另一个风险。为了将这种风险降到最低，已经有了许多保障措施，联邦保密证书保护了这项研究不会披露违反参与者意愿的非法药物使用。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This is a moderate risk study with the potential to benefit METH-exposed children and their families. Although this study poses no more than minimal risk to the participants, the proposal is best classified as a moderate risk study because we are studying a vulnerable population (methamphetamine- exposed children) The risks to the subjects are in the areas of discomfort with study procedures. Children may become distressed or bored during developmental assessments and parents may become distressed by sensitive questions. These risks have been rarely observed in similar studies using the same procedures primarily becaues of the positive relationship already established between subjects and study examiners and interviewers during the first 3 years of the study. Loss of confidentiality is another risk to participants. Numerous safeguards are in place to minimize this risk and a Federal Certificate of Confidentiality protects the study from disclosing illegal drug use against the wishes of the participants.
