目的记录以学校为基础的青少年健康调查获得父母书面同意的过程和影响。方法作为Reach for Health预防项目评估的一部分，学生参加以学校为基础的健康调查获得了家长的书面许可，调查对象为三所城市学校的三组七年级学生（N = 3253），主要服务于经济上处于弱势地位的少数民族青少年。普通、双语和特殊教育班的学生都有资格参加。记录了家长上交的表格数量、家长同意和拒绝、学生同意和拒绝以及完成的调查的比率。达到可接受的家长书面同意率和调查完成率的程序包括：在收集同意书期间，研究人员和学校工作人员之间的日常沟通，学生和教师的激励，为未经同意的学生提供替代活动，以及为缺勤学生安排多次补充调查。结果调查完成率达到或超过了预设目标，从队列a的低70%到队列c的高83%不等。每个队列中至少有89%的家长返回表格。在返回的表格中，家长拒绝的比例从最高的18%（队列a）到最低的12%（队列C）不等。结论在城市环境中，青少年参加校本健康调查获得家长的书面许可是可能的，并且在社区意识和参与研究和评价研究方面具有潜在的好处。然而，在实际的调查管理之前，它确实需要大量的项目资源以及重要的计划和数据收集。
PURPOSETo document the process and implications of obtaining written parental consent for school-based health surveys of young adolescents.METHODSAs part of the evaluation of the Reach for Health prevention program, written parental permission was obtained for student participation in school-based health surveys conducted for three cohorts of seventh graders (N = 3253) enrolled in three urban schools serving predominately economically disadvantaged minority adolescents. Students in general, bilingual, and special education classes were eligible to participate. Rates were recorded for the number of forms returned by parents, parental consents and refusals, student consents and refusals, and surveys completed. Procedures for achieving acceptable rates of written parental permission and survey completion included daily communication between research and school staff during the consent form collection period, student and teacher incentives, provision of alternate activities for students without consent, and scheduling of multiple makeup surveys for absentee students.RESULTSSurvey completion rates met or exceeded preset goals and ranged from a low of 70% for Cohort A to a high of 83% for Cohort C. At least 89% of the parents in each cohort returned forms. Of forms returned, parent refusals ranged from a high of 18% (Cohort A) to a low of 12% (Cohort C).CONCLUSIONSObtaining written permission from parents for young adolescents to participate in school-based health surveys is possible in urban settings and has potential benefits in terms of community awareness and involvement in research and evaluation studies. It does, however, require a substantial commitment of program resources as well as significant planning and data collection prior to actual survey administration.
