Making the Call

Hello Mr. /Mrs. ________________. This is {YOUR NAME} from the University of Miami. I am calling you because we are working with {NAME OF CHILD’S SCHOOL} and we would like to invite you and {NAME OF ADOLESCENT}, to be in a research study. Do you have a few minutes to talk about the study?

If Parent responds with “I’m not interest”

• I understand and I do not want to bother you. Would you like to hear more about our study before you make a decision?

If Parent responds with “No”

• I understand. I want to thank you for taking time to answer my phone call. If you change your mind or want to hear more about our study, please feel free to contact me, {YOUR NAME}, at {YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER}. Thank you!

Public reporting burden of this collection of information is estimated to be 9 minutes per response. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to CDC/ATSDR Reports Clearance Officer; 1600 Clifton Road NE, MS D-74, Atlanta, Georgia 30333; Attn: OMB-PRA (0920-XXX)

If Parent responds with “Yes”

• Briefly, explain the study. Explain that this is a study, and there will be two programs. Each family in the study will be placed into one of them. We will randomly choose the group that you will be assigned to. In program one, they will complete surveys and receive the Familias Unidas program and in program two, they will only complete the surveys with us.

• Your answers will be kept private. This means that we will not tell anyone outside of our research team about what you tell us.

• In both programs you will be compensated for completing the assessments. We will pay you $40 the first time you and your son/daughter come in, and then an extra $5 each time after that (so $45 for the second time 4 months later, $50 for the third time 12 months later, and $55 for the fourth 24 months later).

• We hope that the information you and your son/daughter give us will help us to find ways to help Hispanic families.

• Do you have any questions for me?

• If yes: {ANSWER QUESTIONS}

• If no: We would want you and {NAME OF ADOLESCENT} to come to {SCHOOL NAME} one evening and fill out the first computerized questionnaires. This will take around 2 hours.
