Dear Jane Doe:


In 2003, you attended one of the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Summits sponsored by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and hosted by the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. (AKA), the National Coalition of 100 Black Women (NCBW), and the Women in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (WIN). A goal of these summits was to encourage you, the participants, to foster SIDS education activities in your communities. Enough time has elapsed for us to now look back and see what we have accomplished in the two years since the summit meetings. The sponsors and hosts of the summit meetings are interested in understanding how helpful these meetings were in getting the SIDS risk reduction messages into African American communities. By understanding the outcomes of these summit meetings, the NICHD can better plan future events and activities.


To help the NICHD assess the outcomes from the summit meetings, we are asking all participants to fill out a short survey being conducted by IQ Solutions. We would like to know more about any related community activities that you personally conducted or any community activities in which you participated since attending the summit.


Enclosed is a copy of the brief survey. We would appreciate it if you could please take a few minutes to answer the questions and return the survey to us by [ INSERT DATE ]in the postage paid envelope that has been provided. All personal information and any responses concerning the feedback on the summits will be kept completely confidential and analyzed at the aggregate level. If you have conducted any SIDS related activities and would like to tell us more about them, there is a place on the survey to provide your name and telephone number so that an IQ Solutions staff member can contact you to talk about them.


Please feel free to call Ms. Jane Manahan at (301) 657-3077, ext. 305 if you have any questions about the survey. We appreciate your help in making our outreach efforts to reduce the risk of SIDS as effective as possible. Thank you for your time.



Sincerely,





Yvonne T. Maddox, Ph.D.

Deputy Director
