The dynamics of how a new virus transmits through human populations are not well understood. One theory is that it is being transmitted from human to human through exposure to mosquitoes at workplaces. If this proves to be true, installing mosquito nets at workplaces would provide employees with sufficient protection against the new virus. The scientific evidence does not yet indicate whether this hypothesis is correct. During an epidemic in a foreign country, a Canadian researcher working under the auspices of an institution eligible for Agency funding proposes a research protocol that aims to test this hypothesis. The methodology essentially consists of recruiting employees working for different employers, randomly assigning them to Group A (using mosquito nets) or Group B (control group not using mosquito nets), and assessing the relative effectiveness of mosquito nets by observing the incidence of the virus in these two groups. (please answer all questions by YES or NO).n order to facilitate the consent process, the researcher plans to exclude all employees who are minors and may need parental consent to participate. Based on the provided reason, would the exclusion of this group from the study be ethically acceptable?
