Quiz What would be some of the challenges while conducting a research study on therapeutic treatment (talk therapy, not medication) on someone like Jason? Mark the correct option.

It is difficult to obtain approval to conduct research on individuals with mental disorders because they are considered a protected population in research.

It is difficult to access individuals with mental disorders for research since many of them either do not realize that they have a disorder or do not want to disclose it.

Research has already shown that medication is typically much more effective at treating delusional disorder than any type of therapeutic modality (talk therapy).

All of the above. Correct Option: All of the above. Feedback for First, Second, and Third Option That’s correct, but this is not the only correct response. Feedback for Fourth Option Yes, this is the correct response because issues with mentally ill individuals as a protected population, difficulty with access to this population, and established research on the efficacy of medications are all reasons that a research study on the efficacy of therapeutic modality (talk therapy) would be impediments to such research.
