[Air-L] blogs and confidentiality

[Kevin Guidry]

There is an awful lot of generalizing about "the IRB" in this
discussion as if IRBs are monolithic, consistent entities that all
have the same levels of knowledge, experience, and practices across
all of our institutions.  While all of the discussion and suggestions
have been wonderful, at the end of the day you will have to satisfy
(or avoid) the demands of your particular IRB.  While it's wonderful
to prepare in advance it might be better to simply ask the members of
your IRB about the specifics of your study before worrying too much
about things that may or may not come up.
