[QUOTE=Jwild05;512758]I would have loved to interview my friend from SF, but he was my core course and we (he, myself, and our professor) decided that because we are classmates his answers may provide an issue in the validity to my research (which we fought against, but our prof gave the final word).

Jwild you wouldn't have been able to use your SF friend as a research subject. I'm sure you guys are using the DHHS OHRP rules associated with Human Research. Your IRB would have stopped you because you are interacting with your subject--not to mention all of the rules associated with using students for research. Your professor was correct. Good luck with your research.
