I’m _______________ with _____________________, an independent consumer research firm. I am conducting a research study on behalf of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to help prepare information for women your age. The CDC is conducting focus groups to understand how to communicate with teens and young women about measures they can take now to protect their health and prevent infertility in the future. The focus groups will ask young women to give their opinions on how information is presented in materials like posters and public service announcements and whether it is easy to understand. The groups will be held at 5:30 p.m. or 7:30 p.m. on [Date] in [City] and will last about 2 hours. Refreshments will be served and all teens who participate will receive $75 when the group ends. These questions will only take a few moments to answer. Do you have time now to answer a few questions?


I’m going to ask you several health-related questions. Some of these questions may sound personal but this information will help me to ensure that the groups will include a lot of different people.


Note for Recruiters: Please use the following language for termination of screening:
