本研究调查了基于学校的酒精相关行为调查研究中与家长同意程序相关的样本偏差。将使用传统主动家长同意程序（N = 1,429）的高中生调查得出的酒精流行率和使用严重程度估计值与使用替代家长同意程序（被动同意；N = 2,210 和 N = 3,231）的两项学生调查得出的估计值进行比较。传统主动的父母同意程序导致终生饮酒者的代表性不足。此外，传统的主动父母同意程序导致高风险饮酒水平较低，这种偏见对于白人以及男孩和女孩来说最为明显。研究结果强调，管理者、政策制定者和研究人员需要考虑与同意程序相关的偏见可能对基于学校的药物使用研究结果和结果解释的影响。
This study examined sample bias related to parental consent procedures in school-based survey research on alcohol-related behavior. Alcohol prevalence and severity of use estimates from a high school student survey using traditional-active parental consent (N = 1,429) were compared with estimates from 2 student surveys using alternative parental consent procedures (passive consent; N = 2,210 and N = 3,231). Traditional-active parental consent procedures resulted in underrepresentation of lifetime drinkers. Furthermore, traditional-active parental consent procedures resulted in lower levels of high-risk drinking, and this bias was most evident for Caucasians and both boys and girls. Findings accentuate the need for administrators, policymakers, and researchers to consider the impact consent procedure related bias may have on results and interpretation of findings from school-based substance use research.
