通过学校招募儿童样本的研究人员通常在从父母那里获得完整的同意书方面面临相当大的挑战。由于父母不返还同意书的儿童无法参与研究，父母的不回应是导致样本不具代表性的主要因素。在这篇文章中，我们描述了一套程序，用于获得积极的家长同意儿童参与，导致95%的回复率同意表格。各个学校的回报率相似，只是根据种族和社会经济构成而有所不同。
Researchers recruiting samples of children through schools typically face considerable challenges in obtaining completed consent forms from parents. Because children whose parents do not return consent forms are not able to participate in research, parental nonresponse is a primary factor contributing to nonrepresentative samples. In this article, we describe a set of procedures used to obtain active parental consent for child participation that resulted in a 95% return rate of consent forms. Rates of return were similar across schools that varied according to both racial and socioeconomic composition.
