After getting approved by the IRB, I went ahead and looked at the notes that they provided me with. Although there are some I disagree with, there are notes that I will take into consideration.

Things I agree I should take into consideration
Adding in my method stating that this does not determine if they have a disease, as they might panic at their answers. This can cause mental trauma to the test subject.This is important to think about because it would be unethical to conduct types of research that can cause harm to a person, this does not necessarily only mean physically but mentally as well. This could cause my experiment to be discontinued.
Language that I use in my consent form. This needs to be changed because I state that there is minimal risk but in reality there is no risk. Also, I state that the participants will not be forced to ask any questions, when I meant to say that the participants will never be forced to answer any questions.
I should add survey questions pertaining to any physical demanding jobs that could cause hand diseases. This way I can ensure that my research is true based on the use of technology.
Things I don't agree I should take into consideration
Changing the way I identify each test subject, They address that I should change it to the order by which each person answer the survey, however if I am going to ask student to take the survey it will cause it to be easily identifiable by me. So using their phone number in my opinion is the best way to identify each.
To get rid of the generation Z reference, I will be only focusing on generation Z so I don't really know why I should get rid of it as it is the age group I will be focusing on.
Use a different method to examine those aged 65+. I am not even looking into those age groups so I am confused with what they were trying to get on.
