Several multiwave cross-national surveys have experienced drops in school participation for youth health and risk behavior (HRB) surveys in Western European countries. This article considers explanations for the challenge in recruiting schools for surveys in England, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States and the most important lessons learned during school recruitment for the third wave of the International Self-Report Delinquency Study in these four countries. Comparing school response rates for international academic surveys with those focused on HRB, schools have been increasingly less likely to participate in HRB surveys over the past two decades. However, considerable variation within and across surveys and countries suggests there are numerous influences on school recruitment, and there may be facilitators on which researchers could capitalize. We conclude that when planning future school-based HRB surveys, researchers should consider multiple strategies to engage schools from the outset, tailored to regional and national settings.

犯罪调查研究学校招聘的当代挑战：来自英国、德国、荷兰和美国的国际自我报告犯罪研究的教训

在西欧国家，多项多波跨国调查的青少年健康和风险行为 (HRB) 调查的学校参与率有所下降。本文考虑了对英国、德国、荷兰和美国的调查学校招生挑战的解释，以及这四个国家第三波国际自我报告犯罪调查学校招生过程中最重要的经验教训。将国际学术调查的学校回复率与专注于 HRB 的学校回复率进行比较，在过去的二十年中，学校参与 HRB 调查的可能性越来越小。然而，调查和国家内部和之间的相当大的差异表明对学校招聘有很多影响，并且可能有研究人员可以利用的促进因素。我们得出的结论是，在规划未来以学校为基础的 HRB 调查时，研究人员应考虑多种策略，从一开始就让学校参与进来，并针对区域和国家环境量身定制。
