Class incentives and visits significantly boosted active parent consent form return rates for urban, low-income, minority third-graders. This strategy proved effective in improving participation for this demographic.

Area of Science:

  • Educational research
  • Public health initiatives
  • Socioeconomic studies

Background:

  • Maximizing parental consent is crucial for student participation in research and programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine effective strategies for increasing active parent consent form return rates.
  • To improve participation among third-grade minority, urban students in low-income schools.
  • To identify factors influencing consent form return in a specific demographic.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a class incentive program.
  • Direct class visits by research staff to retrieve forms.
