Survey information


Purpose


The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) thank you for your willingness to participate in our study of the Safe Dates program. You are helping the CDC to learn how to make this program available to students across the country.


Confidentiality


Your answers on this survey are confidential: you will NOT put your name on this survey. School personnel will not know the answers of any individual student. You will be asked to give some information about yourself, like your age and sex. Your completed survey, which you will seal in an envelope, will be given directly to the researcher team.


Voluntary


Participation in this survey is voluntary: you can choose not to participate. If you participate, you can skip any questions you do not want to answer.




general instructions


This is the second of four surveys you will be asked to complete. It should take about 25 minutes, and you will complete it in class. Some questions are similar to the others, but this is to help us interpret the results of the survey.


This is an opinion survey. It is not a test. There are no “right” or “wrong” answers. Answer the questions quickly, based on what you know or what you think. It’s best not to think to much or worry about each question. Use the “don’t know” option as needed, like when you don’t understand a question.


Questions may be on both sides of the survey pages. So be sure to check both sides of each page. When you have completed the survey, please seal it in the envelope provided.














Thank you in advance for your participation!


Public Reporting burden of this collection of information is estimated at 25 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. An agency many not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to CDC/ATSDR Reports Clearance Officer, 1600 Clifton Road NW, MS D-24, Atlanta, GA 30333; Attn: PRA (0920-XXXX).
