PARENT OR GUARDIAN INFORMED CONSENT FORM
As a doctoral candidate and a former Behavior Specialist in Coppell ISD, I would like to
inform you in regard to a study that I will be conducting at Terrell High School. This study will
explore the delinquent activities in which male teenagers sometimes engage. Participants will be
asked questions that include topics such as: truancy, theft, drug and alcohol consumption, and
sexual behavior. Questions asked in the questionnaire address such behaviors as driving a car
without a license or permit, buying alcohol illegally, sneaking into places without paying, taking
part in a robbery, and using illegal drugs. It is hoped that the results of this study will increase
our understanding of teenage behavior. Participation will involve completing a personal data
questionnaire and a behavioral questionnaire that will take your son approximately 20-25
minutes during their advisory period. If you choose to approve of their participation in this study,
their names and responses will be kept confidential at all times. Students will not asked to
identify themselves by name or number on any forms, therefore the researcher will not be able to
track responses back to individual students. This study will not pose a risk that exceeds the risk
students experience in everyday life and should not cause any discomfort. Students will not be
isolated due to their participation or non-participation, nor will they be identified by school staff
members in regard to their responses. Students who participate will do so as part of one advisory
period, and will not be removed from an y academic instruction. Your son may withdraw from
the study at any time if they choose to do so. In addition, there will be no loss of privileges or
penalties imposed if your son wishes to withdraw.
If you agree to let your son participate in this study, please sign below and return this form
in the self-addressed envelope to Jenni Eastin. Any questions or concerns can be directed
to Jenni Eastin at (214) 632-8955. The questionnaire is available by the Director of Student
Support Services for viewing.
