Minimal Risk
|
Participant and staff are not in close contact indoors at anytime. No aerosolizing procedures. No processing of biologic samples.
|
Data collection by phone, in-person survey administration outdoors, LPG fuel delivery

Unacceptable Risk for Research
|
Participant and staff may be in close contact with patient samples for a prolonged period of time and an aerosolizing procedure is occuring in a manner that staff and participants can not be safely protected.
|
No HAPIN procedures were deemed Level 4; however, the following procedures would be deemed Level 4 in our framework: bronchoscopy, induced sputum, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
