note = "Active parental consent policies have been blamed for low participation rates and selection bias (i.e., loss of {"}high-risk{"} youths) in school-based studies. In this article, the authors describe active consent procedures that produced an overall active consent rate of 79\% in a sample of more than 4,500 middle school students attending 29 schools in seven cities across the United States.",
