Abstract
We examined the effect of an institutional requirement for parental consent on adolescents' enrollment in a research study involving sexually transmitted infections. Fewer adolescents enrolled when parental consent was required compared with those who enrolled after this requirement was waived (79% vs. 94%, p = .01). Of the adolescents, 100% requested confidential test results. We conclude that requiring parental consent decreases participation in STI research.
