Checklist for Research Involving Prisoners

The app asks questions such as the following: Does the project receive any funding from the federal Dept. of Health and Human Services? Are the possible advantages accruing to the prisoner, when compared to general prison living conditions, medical care, amenities, and opportunity for earnings, not of such a magnitude that the subject’s ability to weigh the risks of research against the value of such advantages in the limited choice environment will be impaired? Are the procedures for the selection of subjects within the prison fair to all prisoners and immune from arbitrary intervention by prison authorities or prisoners? Is each prisoner clearly informed in advance that participation in the research will have no effect on his or her parole? record. The Checklist for Research Involving Prisoners mobile app allows you to replace your paper checklist with an Android or iPhone. The mobile form includes fields to document items such as date, principal investigator, project title, records comments on the research project and captures investigator and reviewer's signatures. Once the mobile app is filled out a secure PDF is generated. The PDF is easy to share, and a copy is stored in your account for your prison safety records. You can also use the App Builder to personalize and customize this mobile form.
