Mark Johns -- Thanks for sharing that information regarding common IRB practices concerning text explaining how INSECURE web-based research can be. I'm still wondering, however, how commonplace it is to use secure technologies to protect web-based research inputs. Whatever an IRB is requiring in terms of text, description of the use of such technologies could also be included in introductions to surveys and other instruments, would certainly be more reassuring to participants, would actually provide greater protections for confidentiality than is otherwise the case, and may even begin to reassure IRBs that it is not such a to-be-feared research environment in the long run. Anyone out there with experience using secure technologies for web-based research purposes, or know how they have been used and how widely? Thanks again -- Sandra Braman
