Dear Name:

Last month a questionnaire about the health care issues, concerns, and preferences of veterans who served during OEF/OIF was mailed to you by the research company, Abt SRBI.

If you have already completed and returned the questionnaire, please accept our sincere thanks. If not, please do so today. We are especially grateful for your help because it is only by asking veterans like you to share your experiences and expectations that we can understand how best to provide needed healthcare services and how to reduce barriers to care.

Just in case you did not receive a questionnaire, or if it was misplaced, another blank copy of the questionnaire is enclosed with a postage-paid return envelope. Thank you in advance for sending us your completed survey. Please feel free to call Abt SRBI's toll free number at 1-800-659-5432 (Ms. Vanderwolff) if you have any questions.

Thank you very much for helping us with this important study.

Sincerely,

Kristy Straits-Troster, PhD, ABPP Patrick Calhoun, PhD
