Dear Dr. Bolton:

As Chair of the Battelle/CPHRE Institutional Review Board (IRB) I have reviewed the continuing review and modifications submission dated 11/26/2007 for the study entitled “National Survey of 911 Emergency Treatment for Heart Disease and Stroke” (FG487112-01) and grant expedited approval to continue with the study. The study is minimal risk and the changes to do not affect the risk/benefits ratio. I do recommend that yon include a statement in the consent form that there is no penalty for non-participation.

As with all Battelle/CPHRE studies, this study will be subject to continuing review again next year. The current approval expires 11/27/2008. We will send you notification at the appropriate time. In the meantime, should any additional changes occur in your protocol or questionnaire, please inform the IRB and submit the changes for review. Similarly, the I RB needs to be notified in the event of any injury or unexpected outcome arising from this study.

Sincerely,

Margaret R. Pennybacker, PhD, CIP

IRB Chair
