When studies involve collecting data on pairs or groups of individuals, remember that each person about whom you plan to collect data counts as a separate study subject. For example, if you are collecting datafrom both chronically ill people and their caregivers, each dyad counts as two subjects, not one. The same is true if you are doing research on mothers and their babies. If most of your data will be about the mother, but you’ll collect data about the infant such as Apgar score and birthweight, the infants will count as separate subjects. So please sure your new submission form and protocol fully describe all subjects in the accrual goal and the age range descriptions.
