要求父母积极同意会导致青少年的自我报告与不要求时不同。本研究比较了获得和未获得父母积极同意的学生之间自我报告的人口统计学、社会心理和行为变量。正如先前研究发现的那样，在通过父母积极同意招募的样本中，少数族裔更少，对学校不满意的人更少，父母教育水平较低的人更少，吸烟者也更少。在先前研究的基础上，我们发现那些父母未对同意程序做出回应的学生与父母做出回应的学生相比，更不太可能与父母双方共同生活，更有可能是挂钥匙儿童，对健康的重视程度更低，更爱冒险，自尊更低，也更缺乏自信。这些数据进一步支持了这样一种观点，即那些因父母未采取行动而被排除在研究之外的儿童面临更多健康和社会问题的风险更高。为了准确评估预防计划的有效性，这些儿童需要被纳入评估样本。未来的研究应该采用被动同意程序，作为在学校预防研究中招募有代表性的研究对象群体的一种手段。
Requiring active consent from parents leads to different self-reports by adolescents than when it is not required. The present study compares self-reported demographic, psychosocial, and behavior variables between those students from whom active consent was and was not obtained. As found in previous studies, fewer minorities, fewer persons who were dissatisfied with school, fewer persons whose parents were of lower educational levels, and fewer cigarette smokers were represented in the sample recruited by active parental consent. Extending on previous work, we found those students whose parents failed to respond to the consent procedure were less likely to live with both parents. were more likely to be latch-key children, placed a lower priority on health, and were higher in risk-taking, lower in self-esteem, and lower in assertiveness than those whose parents had responded. These data further support the suggestion that those children who are omitted from a research study because of lack of action on the part of the parent are at higher risk for a number of health and social problems. These children need to be included in evaluation samples in order to accurately assess the effectiveness of prevention programming. Future studies should employ a passive consent procedure as a means of recruiting a representative subject pool in school-based prevention research.
