Just a quick note to celebrate the fact that I now have official IRB approval. IRB is the review process you have to go through as an academic researcher to make sure your study involving humans as research subjects is ethical and appropriate. I had double-ethics-duty because my study is international, and I just received my South African approval today. It was a very long, tedious process, but I'm happy to say I finally have approval. Which is good because I'm already here!
Thanks to everyone for the support and kind words over the past several months as I waited to get this piece of paper. Of course, I already have an amendment to make to it because I am adding different locations within the country (I originally was only going to do the research here in Jo-burg), but now that I have approval it makes that easier too.
