Project: Developing, Marketing, and Evaluation of Eagle Books and Youth Books for American Indians and Alaska Natives
Sponsored by: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Native Diabetes Wellness Program
What this project is about: We are here to learn more about what parents and children think about the Eagle Books. The Eagle Books teach children about being healthy and how to prevent diabetes. Taking part in the group talk does not mean that you or your child is at higher risk for diabetes. We want to talk to you and your child because the Eagle Books are especially for American Indian communities. So, we want to hear what you think about Eagle Books. What you and your child tell us will help the Native Diabetes Wellness Program at CDC see how the books have helped children and how to make future books better.
Important things to know:
Parents will be in one group and children will be in another group, with 4 to 6 other kids their age.
The groups will be held at the same place [INSERT LOCATION], but in different rooms.
The group for parents should last about an hour. The group for children should last about 45 minutes. Children will be given a light snack and activity while they wait.
Taking part in the groups is totally up to you and your child. You and your child do not have to answer any questions you don’t want to.
You will receive $70 cash for your time and travel expenses. Your child will receive a small bag of toys and snacks.
Someone will take notes during the groups. Your name and your child’s name will not be written down or linked to anything that has been said. Only people working on this project will be allowed to see the notes from this talk. All notes will be kept in a safe and private place.
Everything you and your child say will be kept private, as allowed by law.
Neither you nor your child should be hurt in any kind of way because they took part in the groups. There are no direct benefits to you or your child for taking part in this talk. What your child tells us will help us understand what kids have learned from the Eagle Books.
