Online resources: To improve our understanding of factors that promote academic-achievement-related outcomes among African American youth, many researchers interested in this line of inquiry recruit participants from and collect data in their local schools. The purpose of this methods case study is to discuss the process of conducting school-based research within the context of a cross-sectional survey project exploring the school experiences and associated outcomes of African American youth enrolled in two public high schools. By doing so, this case study will highlight some of the opportunities and challenges associated with school-based research as faced throughout the duration of my research project, including practical issues and lessons learned regarding obtaining district- and school-level approval, participant recruitment, and data collection. This methods case study ends with discussing some important considerations as related to conducting research with youth within the school setting.
