本文描述了用于招募四年级儿童的方法，他们的学校早餐和午餐回忆的准确性，并报告了学校，班级，种族和性别对协议参与的影响。在1999-2000学年，东南部一个州的一个区的公立学校共招收了522名儿童（27%白色男性[WM]，30%白色女性[WF]，21%黑人男性[BM]，22%黑人女性[BF]）。跨班级，45%至95%的儿童同意参加（n = 376，25% WM，30%。WF，22% BM，23% BF），总体为72%。Logistic回归表明，班级是参与的一个轻微显着的预测因子（p < 0.04），但未能表明学校。种族或性别作为重要的预测因素。需要调查可能影响儿童参与的其他具体因素，并分享结果，以帮助改善今后学校研究的招募工作。
This article describes the methods used to recruit fourth-grade children fur a school-bused study concerning the accuracy of their school breakfast and lunch recalls, and it reports the impact of school, class, ethnicity, and gender on agreement to participate. A total of 522 children (27% White Males [WM], 30% White Females [WF], 21% Black Males [BM], 22% Black Females [BF]) was available to recruit from 22 classes at se public schools in one district In a southeastern state daring the 1999-2000 school year. Across classes, 45% to 95% of children agreed to participate (n = 376, 25% WM, 30%. WF, 22% BM, 23% BF) with 72% overall. Logistic regression indicated class as a marginally significant predictor of participation (p < 0.04), but failed to indicate school. ethnicity, or gender as significant predictors. Other specific factors that may influence children's participation need to be investigated and results shared to help improve recruitment efforts fur future school-based studies.
