Dear [Clinical Staff’s name]:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has asked [MCO] and Battelle Centers for Public Health Research to do research to test methods to increase colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. Study results will tell us what works to increase CRC screening, and will help [MCO] and the CDC to improve clinical training and patient education materials for CRC screening.
We began this study about a year ago. Almost all primary care clinics in [MCO] are included in this study. The survey includes questions about your background and your colorectal cancer screening training, experience, practices, and opinions. Your experience and opinions are very important to us. This survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. Because your time is valuable, we have enclosed $25 as a reimbursement for your time and effort.
Your responses will be private. Please do not put your name on the survey. We will not identify any person who was in the study in any papers or reports.
Your participation in this study is voluntary. You are free to choose to complete this survey or not. The only possible risk to you is that you may be uncomfortable answering some of the questions. You may refuse to answer any of the questions. If you do not want to complete the survey, it will not affect your employment at [MCO] in any way. Your returning this survey provides your consent. The results of this study will help the CDC and [MCO] to improve methods to increase CRC screening.
Please use the envelope provided. If you have any questions about this research study, please call [MCO Study Coordinator] at (xxx) xxx-xxxx. If you have questions about your rights as a research subject, you may contact the Henry Ford Health System IRB Coordinator at (xxx) xxx-xxxx. The IRB is a group of people who review the research to protect your rights.
We hope you will help us with this important study. Thank you for taking time to complete this survey.
Sincerely,
[Clinic Mgr or
Research staff member]
