Census shall add
the following statement to materials given to respondents: " In
addition, Duke University may use the information to contact you
for supplemental studies. Like this survey, your decision to
participate in a supplemental study is strictly voluntary." Prior
to the fielding of this survey, Census shall provide to OMB via
email a revision of the CMS letter found at Attachment F. The
revision should either delete the instruction to contact
1800-MEDICARE if the R has questions or provide a contact number
that will enable the R to speak with someone knowledgeable about
the survey. Census will also delete 'other' from the flashcard
showing race categories.
