What is this about?
Dr. Staffee was hired by local government to conduct a survey about prenatal care and later published her results, accordingly to the agreement with the government. A year later, one of Dr. Staffee's students wanted to reinterview one of the research subjects in the study in order to include the new interview in her dissertation.
