Once a product is approved and put on the market, does the FDA have the authority to remove it at any time if it is no longer safe or effective? | YES |
Which type or inferential statistic meets the following criteria: 1. The results of this test are interpreted as cause and effect 2. This test is used for experimental designs with one independent variable and only two groups | t-test |
A conclusion that determines that two or more dependent variables are linked or related, not that they caused the change in the others. | Relationship Conclusion |
Which research designs has a relationship conclusion? | Quasi-experimental Correlational |
The 5 major steps of the FDA review process in order | Preclinical Trials Phase I Clinical Trials Phase II Clinical Trials Phase III Clinical Trials New Drug/Device Application(NDA) is submitted to the FDA |
According to the textbook, quasi-experimental designs are interpreted the same as which other type of research design? | Correlational |
Which type of inferential statistic meets the following criteria: 1. The results of this test are interpreted as relationship 2. This test is used for correlational and quasi-experimental designs | Chi Square |
Researches us ____________ statistics to draw conclusions from their findings | Inferential |
Which type of research design will always have an independent variable with random assignment to groups? | Experimental |
Which type of inferential statistic meets the following criteria: 1. The results of this test are interpreted as cause and effect 2. This test is used for experimental designs with any number of variables and groups | ANOVA |
inferential statistic symbol: F | ANOVA |
Inferential statistic symbol: t | t-test |
Inferential statistic symbol: r | Pearson's r |

In relation to research ethics, the Institutional Care and Use Committee (IACUC) ensures that all institutions are following federal regulations and ethical and moral principles when using ___________ as subjects. | Animals |
Describe the 1st step of the FDA review process | The stage of the FDA review process where animals are tested to determine 1) if the product is safe for human use 2) if the product produces the desired effect. |
Describe the 2nd step of the FDA review process | Where researchers administer the product to healthy individuals at increasing doses until signs of toxicity are found. Once toxicity signs appear, the study is stopped. |
Describe the 3rd step of the FDA review process | Where the product can be given at a dose that is not toxic, the product is administered to a small number of patients <50) with the target disease. The major goal of this stage is to determine the efficacy of the product while monitoring signs of toxicity |
Describe the 4th step of the FDA review process | Where the product is tested on as many different populations with the target disease (>100) as possible. The major goal of this stage is to determine if the product is as safe and equally or more effective than products already on the market. |
Describe the 5th step of the FDA review process | Where an application to put the product on the market is submitted to the FDA. The FDA can then reject the product, approve the product or ask the company to run additional tests or reanalyze the data in different ways. |
