Obtaining ethical approval typically involves several steps:
1. Preparation of the Research Proposal: This includes a detailed description of the study's aims, methods, and potential risks and benefits. 2. Submission to the IRB: The proposal is submitted to the IRB or ethics committee for review. 3. Review Process: The committee reviews the proposal, often requesting additional information or modifications to ensure ethical compliance. 4. Approval: Once the committee is satisfied that the research meets ethical standards, approval is granted, allowing the study to proceed.
