Factors Influencing Middle and High Schools' Active Parental Consent Return Rates
Ji, Peter Y.; Pokorny, Steven B.; Jason, Leonard A.
Evaluation Review, v28 n6 p578-591 Dec 2004
The authors examined factors influencing the return rates for attempting to collect active parental consent forms from 21,123 students in the 7th through 10th grades in 41 middle and high schools. Overall return rates from middle schools were higher than from high schools. Schools that offered high levels of staff support for collecting consent forms had higher return rates. Procedures where the consent form was attached to a school form that parents had to complete and return to the school yielded the highest return rate. Implications for how researchers can obtain a high parent consent form return rate are discussed.
