Or. Admin. Code § 416-170-0010 - General Standards
(1) No
research may be conducted without OYA approval in the manner prescribed in
these rules, and related OYA policy and procedures.
(a) Oregon Department of Corrections (DOC)
approval is required for any research involving youth in custody in the legal
custody of DOC and the physical custody of OYA.
(b) Youth in custody participation must be
voluntary and the youth in custody 's confidentiality will be
protected.
(c) OYA retains the
right to review the compilation of data or completed report describing project
outcomes prior to publication, and may require a disclaimer if it believes
assumptions about the data are flawed.
(2) OYA will consider research proposals that
benefit the agency or juvenile corrections as a whole, such as:
(a) Studies of possible causes of criminal
behavior, and effects of incarceration;
(b) Studies of close custody systems or
treatment programs as institutional structures or of youth as incarcerated
persons;
(c) Research on conditions
particularly affecting adjudicated or convicted youth in custody as a class;
and

improving the health or well-being of the subject. In cases in which such

regarding the ethical considerations to support the
research.

research project proposals submitted to OYA must have been reviewed and
approved by a human subjects review committee prior to submittal to
