ENCLOSE2. Thank you for your time. Based on our conversation I need to ask {(READ NAMES BELOW) and} you} a few
more questions. This should only take about 5 minutes.
The National Children’s Study is asking women questions to get information about pregnancy and to find out
who is eligible to be in the Study. Answering the questions does not mean that you agree to be in the Study.
Only a small number of women who answer these questions will be eligible to be in the Study. If you are in
one of the groups needed for the Study, we will give you more information so you can decide if you want to
be in the Study. If you are not in one of the groups needed for the Study at this time, we may use the
answers you give us, and we may call you back at a later date to see if anything has changed.
{Some people may consider questions about pregnancy to be personal, so we will give you choices on how
you would like to listen to the questions. You can listen to the questions privately using headphones, or you
can listen without headphones, or I can read the questions to you. You will enter your answers directly into
the computer without telling me your answers. The computer will determine if you are eligible for the Study.
It would be best if you could sit down in a chair or at a table while answering these questions. Please let me
know where a comfortable spot would be to get you set up.}

PS012. Now, I have a few questions for you to answer on your own to determine if you might be eligible for the National
Children’s Study. This should take about 5 minutes.
The National Children’s Study is asking women questions to get information about pregnancy and to find out who
is eligible to be in the Study. Answering the questions does not mean that you agree to be in the Study. Only a
small number of women who answer these questions will be eligible to be in the Study. If you are in one of the
groups needed for the Study, we will give you more information so you can decide if you want to be in the Study.
If you are not in one of the groups needed for the Study at this time, we may use the answers you give us, and we
may call you back at a later date to see if anything has changed.
Some people may consider questions about pregnancy to be personal, so we will give you choices on how you
would like to listen to the questions. You can listen to the questions privately using headphones, or you can listen
without headphones, or I can read the questions to you. You will enter your answers directly into the computer
without telling me your answers. The computer will determine if you are eligible for the Study.
It would be best if you could sit down in a chair or at a table while answering these questions. Please let me know
where a comfortable spot would be to get you set up.

PS013. OK, I’d now like to give you some important information. Answering these questions is your choice. You do not
have to answer these questions, you can stop the interview at any time, and there will be no penalties or loss of
any benefits you may be getting. But please keep in mind that your answers to these questions are very
important. The information we collect is protected by law and we will keep all the information private. This Study
has a legal document called a Certificate of Confidentiality that will protect your information from people who are
not part of the Study. With this document, we cannot be forced, even by the courts, to tell anyone who is not
connected to the Study about your participation or your personal information without written permission from you.

PS014. As I said earlier, some of these questions may be somewhat sensitive. You can choose how you would like to
answer these questions. Would you like to
Listen to the questions on your own using headphones, ..........................
Listen to the questions on your own without headphones, or..................
Have me read the questions to you?........................................................

PS015. The National Children’s Study is enrolling women of child-bearing age to get information about pregnancy. These

Please answer each question even if you do not consider yourself to be an active person. Think about the
activities you do at work, as part of your house or yard work, to get from place to place, and in your spare time for
recreation, exercise or sport.
Now, think about all the vigorous activities that take hard physical effort that you did in the last 7 days. Vigorous
activities make you breathe much harder than normal and may include heavy lifting, digging, aerobics, or fast
bicycling. Think only about those activities that you did during the last 7 days for at least 10 minutes at a time.

family in the future. Except for these purposes, the Study will not release your Social Security Number to anyone,
including any government agency. Providing this information is voluntary. Whether or not you give us this number
will have no effect on any benefits you might receive. The National Children’s Study is authorized by the
Children’s Health Act of 2000 and the Public Health Service Act. (The Public Health Service Act authority is found
under Section 448 (42USC 285g).

HB004. Next, I’m going to ask about the time you spent being physically active in the last 7 days.
Please answer each question even if you do not consider yourself to be an active person. Think about the
activities you do at work, as part of your house or yard work, to get from place to place, and in your spare time for
recreation, exercise, or sport.
Now, think about all the vigorous activities which take hard physical effort that you did in the last 7 days.
Vigorous activities make you breathe much harder than normal and may include heavy lifting, digging, aerobics,
or fast bicycling. Think only about those activities that you did during the last 7 days for at least 10 minutes at a
time.

any other reason.

HELP SCREEN:
Ultrasound/Sonogram: An ultrasound is done during pregnancy to produce pictures of the baby before birth.
These pictures are produced by a special probe moved over your abdomen or placed in your vagina. The pictures
can be viewed on a screen and copies may be made and given to you or stored in your baby’s medical record.
Amniocentesis: Refers to a procedure in which a needle is inserted through the abdomen into the uterus to
withdraw a small amount of amniotic fluid and fetal cells. Amniocentesis is done to look for certain types of birth
defects and is typically performed after 14 weeks gestation.
CVS: CVS is a procedure in which a small sample of cells is taken from the placenta. Cells can be collected either
through the vagina, using a small plastic tube, or through the abdomen, using a slender needle. CVS is used to
detect birth defects, genetic diseases and other problems and is usually done between 10 weeks gestation and
the end of the first trimester.
