Exit Interview

Again, we thank you for participating in this interview about your experiences with CTCA: HIV Prevention and Intervention for African American Men who Have Sex with Men study. In this meeting, I’ll ask you some questions about your experiences with the CTCA study and would like you to share your thoughts about the content of the intervention and ways in which we could improve it.

Because we’ll be talking back and forth, I’ll need to record the audio part of this session (only our voices will be recorded, no images). All recorded information will be used to create a transcript (written record) of our meeting today. Your responses today, as with all aspects of our study, will not be used to identify you specifically but transcribed to insure that we have accurate information to help us improve the intervention.

Before we begin, I’ll have to ask you to read over and sign one more written consent form. This one is to approve of the audio recording. Without the audio recording we cannot proceed. If you feel that you do not want to be audio recorded we can stop the meeting now. Also, if during the meeting you feel that you do not want to respond to any specific question or wish to stop the interview you can tell me and we will stop.

[Participant is given the Consent to Audio Record. After it is signed you can proceed. If the participant refuses to sign or does not want to be audio recorded. Thank him and provide the $25remuneration.]
