Yes. Whether or not something is "sensitive" should not be a decision made by
the researcher. There are, however, expedited review processes that are
available if there is minimal risk and minors or other special groups are not

According to the lawyer who sat on our IRB, surveys typically did not
require IRB approval as the potential respondent could always choose NOT to
respond. The legal notion was that, by responding to a survey, the
individual was providing implicit consent by her/his behavior.

Yes. Even "non-sensitive" surveys need IRB approval. I think the issue of
the sensitivity of the survey is an IRB matter.

Does your institution require you to get approval from your Institutional
Review Board when you (or your students) acquire data using simple surveys
of issues that are not "sensitive"?
