[DATE]


Dear _________,


Thank you for being part of the Evaluation of the Healthy Incentives Pilot (HIP). You are one of a few retailers chosen to provide feedback about HIP. By responding to this survey, you are helping us learn how to make HIP better for retailers and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)/Food Stamp customers.

As an incentive, HIP pays back SNAP/Food Stamp customers in Hampden County a portion of their fruit and vegetable purchases in the form of a credit. The Massachusetts Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA) is running HIP, with funding from the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) of the USDA. We are studying how HIP affects SNAP/Food Stamp customers and the community on the behalf of FNS.

There are 2 parts to this survey:

  • Part 1: Store Manager/Owner Survey (estimated to take about 25-30 minutes) should be completed by the store manager or owner. The store manager or owner may consult other employees in the store to answer some of the survey questions. This part of the survey is yellow.

  • Part 2: Checkout Supervisor Survey (estimated to take about 10 minutes) should be completed by the person who knows the most about checkout procedures. This person may be the manager or owner (for small stores) or the checkout supervisor (for medium and large stores). This part of the survey is blue.

Please call our toll-free number 1-800-xxx-xxxx if you need help filling out the survey or have any other questions. When you have finished the survey, please return it to us using the pre-paid business reply envelopes provided.



Thank you,


Susan Bartlett

Abt Associates Inc.
