SOCRA CCRP Practice Exam

One of the scenarios that require financial disclosure is when there is:

1. A proprietary interest by the PI in the tested product.

2. Government funding for the study.

3. Use of over-the-counter medications.

4. Testing of generic products.

The correct answer is: A proprietary interest by the PI in the tested product.

A proprietary interest refers to a financial stake or ownership in a product or company. It is important for financial disclosure to occur in this scenario because the researcher may have a bias towards the product being tested, potentially leading to biased results. B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not involve a direct financial interest in the product being tested. While government funding and use of over-the-counter medications may have implications for financial disclosure in other contexts, in regards to this question, they are not the correct answer because they do not directly involve a proprietary interest in the tested product.
