Hello,<br><br>

Thank you.<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite=""><font face="Times New Roman, Times"><b>We
are proposing an amendment to our ethnographic study (participant
observation method) on mental health and child welfare to include
courtroom observation (family court). We currently have IRB
approval for observation of child welfare agencies and client interaction
(even in the client’s home). We now need to make the case for
courtroom observation (the argument is that the court has ultimate power
and seems to be the driving factor in directing mental health care for
"clients" in the child welfare system). Does anyone have
IRB type language that speaks to why you needed access to the courtroom
for your research? <br>
<br>
Also how have others handle consent for court room research?<br>
<br>
