(REVISED 4/5/09)
SCREENER AND WAVE 1 QUESTIONNAIRE
PATH 1
>>marked up with recommendations for how to revise questionnaires based on Rd 2 feedback. No randomization of items. (4/17/09)
INTRODUCTION: Thanks for agreeing to do this interview with me. We will be asking you questions related to media use. We would like you to share your thoughts about the items we are constructing. We are not assessing your responses and attitudes; we are only interested in the clarity and wording of the questions and in your willingness to answer them, not in the answers themselves. You may find that some of the questions we are asking may make you feel uncomfortable and you may choose not to answer any question for any reason. You do not have to reveal any specific information about your own experiences unless you choose to do so. You may stop participating at any time, and there are no consequences for you if you choose to stop. I will tape this interview so that I don’t have to take extensive notes. The tape will not be shared with anyone outside the project team and will be destroyed at the end of the project.
Shall we start?
