Dear Current Resident,
Your household has been selected for this year’s California Health Survey. This
important telephone survey is your opportunity to have your voice heard on health issues.
This survey helps California learn about the health of its people and the problems they
have getting health care. The results may help the people and families in your
community.
Your household is very special because you are part of a scientific sample representing
many other households like yours. We do this survey every two years. Since 2001, more
than 100,000 Californians have talked to us about many different health topics.
We will be calling sometime in the next two weeks and one adult in your household will be
selected for the interview. If you have teenagers (ages 12-17), we will ask to interview one
with permission from a parent. Participation is voluntary. All answers are confidential
and used only for this survey.
Please take a moment to take our call. We are not selling anything or asking for money.
If we call at an inconvenient time, you can suggest a better time for us to call back. To
thank you in advance for taking our call and hearing about this survey, we are enclosing
a $2 bill. This small gift is for you to keep whether or not you decide to participate (this
money is not from State or local taxes).
Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,

Dr. E. Richard Brown
Director, UCLA Center for Health Policy Research

We do this survey every two years. This research helps California learn about
the health of its people and the problems they have getting health care. The
results may be used to help the people and families in your community.
We recently called your home, but it was not a good time for anyone to speak
with us. We know your time is valuable. However, we encourage you to take
just a few minutes to talk to our interviewer when we call again.
Your household is part of a scientific sample representing many other
households like yours. Please take a moment to take our call. If we happen to
call at an inconvenient time, you can suggest a time that is better for you.
If you have any questions, you may call toll free at 1-888-941-2950.

Dear Current Resident,
We recently talked on the telephone with someone in your home who has been
selected to be part of the California Health Survey. I do not know that person’s
name because this is a confidential survey and names cannot be released.
The person we talked to chose not to do the interview or not to finish it. We
respect that decision since the interview is voluntary. However, I kindly ask
him or her to please reconsider.
You are part of a scientific sample representing many others like yourself. You
are important in making a complete picture of the people of California. The
results may be used to improve health care and help your community.
One of our interviewers from Westat, the survey firm making the telephone
calls, will call again. I want to give the selected person one more opportunity to
be part of this important survey. If necessary, our interviewer can make an
appointment for a more convenient time.
Please take a moment to talk with us. If you have any questions, you may call
toll free at 1-888-941-2950.
Sincerely,

Dear Parent or Guardian,
We recently did a telephone interview with an adult in your household. I want
to thank that person for his or her time. We also selected one teenager
between age 12 and 17 to be interviewed. However, the parent or guardian did
not give us permission to interview their teenager. We respect that decision
and will not speak with anyone under 18 years old without permission.
I want to ask the parent or guardian to please reconsider. Our survey results
may help to improve the health of young people in your community. Your
teenager is important. She or he is part of a scientific sample representing
many other similar young people.
One of our interviewers from Westat, the survey firm making the telephone
calls, will call again. We will again ask for permission to interview the selected
teenager. This voluntary interview only takes about 15 minutes. We can make
an appointment for a convenient time to do it.
If we still cannot get permission, or the selected teenager does not want to do
it, tell the interviewer when we call. We will not call or write again.
If you have any questions, you may call toll-free at 1-888-941-2950.
Yours truly,

{DATE}
Dear {PARENT’S NAME},
Thank you for recently completing the California Health Survey. This important survey collects
information about the health of people throughout California and may help to improve health
services in your community.
We now invite you to participate in a study about your child’s height and weight. If you choose
to participate and complete all of the steps, you will receive a $20 Visa gift card that you can use
anywhere Visa is accepted.
During the child interview, we asked about the height and weight of:
{CHILD’S NAME}, age {CHILD’S AGE}
Along with other information, your child’s height and weight is a very important health
indicator. However, it is often difficult for parents to know their child’s height and weight and
report it accurately over the telephone. The purpose of this study is to find better ways to
measure and report a child’s height and weight. The sponsors of this study are the National
Institute for Child Health and Human Development, the UCLA Center for Health Policy
Research, and Kaiser Permanente.
We hope that you will choose to participate in this important study. If you have any questions
about how to participate, your rights as a study participant, or the authorization to disclose Kaiser
health information, please call toll free 1-877-275-2447.
Sincerely,

Dr. E. Richard Brown

PARENT CONSENT TO PARTICIPATE IN RESEARCH
California Health Interview Survey 2009:
California Child Height and Weight Measurement Improvement Study
You and your child are asked participate in a research study conducted by Dr. E. Richard Brown,
Director of the Center for Health Policy Research at the University of California, Los Angeles,
David Grant, PhD, from the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, Nancy Gordon, PhD,
from Kaiser Permanente Northern California, and Corinna Koebnick, Kaiser Permanente
Southern California.. You and your child were selected as possible participants in this study
because when you completed the telephone portion of the California Health Interview Survey
you told us that your child was enrolled in Kaiser Permanente health insurance. Your
participation in this research study is voluntary.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
This study will help us better understand how accurately parents are able to report their child’s
weight and height over the telephone. With your permission we will compare the weight and
height that you provided over the telephone with the weight and height you provide today as well
as the weight and height measured at your child’s last two Kaiser Permanente doctor’s visits.

PROCEDURES
If you and your child volunteer to participate in this study, we will ask you today to:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Measure your child’s height using the included tape-measure.
Weigh your child on a scale.
Write your child’s height and weight measurements on the included report form.
Mail the report form back using the included envelope.
Provide your permission to release height and weight measurements for your child from
Kaiser Permanente’s medical records.

After we receive your child’s weight and height we will, with your permission:
1. Compare the measurements you mailed back with the information you provided over the
telephone.
2. Compare the measurements you mailed back with the height and weight measurements
from your child’s Kaiser Permanente medical records.

POTENTIAL RISKS AND DISCOMFORTS
The potential risks of your participating in this study are small. However, some children may be
uncomfortable or embarrassed about their height and/or weight.

POTENTIAL BENEFITS TO SUBJECTS AND/OR TO SOCIETY
You will not directly benefit from your participation in the research.
The results of the research may help us better understand changes in child height and weight
trends in California and help to develop programs to reduce childhood obesity. The results of the
research may also help us decide how best to collect data on child weight and height in the
future. The data we collect may also be valuable to researchers and others who analyze data
from the California Health Interview Survey and other telephone health surveys.

PAYMENT FOR PARTICIPATION
You and your child will receive a $20 Visa gift card for your participation in this study.

CONFIDENTIALITY
Any information that is obtained in connection with this study and that can be identified with you
and your child will remain confidential and will be disclosed only with your permission or as
required by law. Confidentiality will be maintained by means of separating you personal
information from the height and weight measurements we will use for this study. No
information identifying you or your child will be released by the researchers to anyone.

PARTICIPATION AND WITHDRAWAL
You can choose whether to be in this study or not, and whether or not to allow your child to be in
this study. If you agree to participate and to allow your child to be in this study, you may
withdraw your consent at any time without consequences of any kind.
