Were "at risk," because of the deception

Explanation:

Deception: In psychological or scientific research, the term deception is described as a phenomenon in which an investigator or researcher tends to provide incomplete or false information to the subjects or participants being involved in a particular study or research to mislead the research participants or subjects.

In a few studies or research, the IRB tends to agree with distinct types of deception to be included in the research procedure.
