However, the students will be chosen at random. A demographically-similar control group will be selected whose teachers did not receive such misleading information.

IRB response: The potential problems with this research are that it is conducted upon minors without the minor's consent. It could also seriously impede the student's educational careers, likely forcing the experimental group to experience difficulties in school and causing them psychological trauma later in life. Critical criteria for any form of research is that the "risk to subjects are minimized" and the "risk to subjects are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits" (Marsden, S. & Melander n.d.).

It would be determined if teachers who had received the potentially prejudiced information beforehand had a more negative view of the students labeled as disordered vs. The teachers who were not prejudiced by the prompt: both sets of teachers would see the same videos. This would ensure that the education of the students was not compromised and only the perceptions and behavior of the teachers would be put under scrutiny.
