Introduction
Interviewer read to respondent*
Hi, I‟m (your name) and I work for the Jail Diversion Evaluation Study. This study is funded by
the Center for Mental Health Services within the federal government. The findings from this
study will be used to improve jail diversion programs. Thank you for agreeing to talk with me
today. I appreciate your time and cooperation in participating in this interview and the study.
After the completion of your baseline interview there will be two follow-up interviews, the first of
which will be in about 6 months.
Your answers will be kept private and will in no way affect your legal status or any other
services or money you receive. The information you give will only be seen by research staff.
Before we start, I want to review a few things. First, you should know that your participation is
completely voluntary – you do not need to do this interview and if you decide not to, it will not
affect any services you receive or your standing in the diversion program. Also, you can choose
not to answer any question I ask, or stop the interview at any time. Second, this interview asks a
lot of personal questions, some of which may be difficult to think about. Please let me know if
you are feeling upset, or need a break. Before we start, please read and sign this consent form.

[HAND RESPONDENT INFORMED CONSENT FORM, REVIEW IT WITH THEM, AND ASK
THEM TO SIGN IT]

Thank you. Do you have any questions? (If so, note questions and responses).
Okay, let‟s start. I‟m going to read you a set of questions exactly as they are worded so that
each person is asked the same questions. In some cases, you‟ll be asked to answer questions
in your own words and I‟ll write down your answers. In other cases, you‟ll be given a list of
answers and asked to choose the one that is best for you. We are interested in your personal
opinions about these questions. There are no right or wrong answers. Please take your time.
Feel free to ask me questions if you are not sure what is wanted. Some of the questions I will
ask you may sound repetitive or may not apply to you, but I have to ask them anyway.
Remember that your answers are private.
This interview will last about 45 minutes. I will need to keep things moving along so I hope that I
do not sound rude if I tell you we need to move on to the next question.
If at any time you feel you need to take a break or stop the interview. Please let me know.
Now, I think we are ready to begin. I am going to ask you some questions about yourself.
Sometimes I will ask you about a specific time frame, like the past week or the last 30 days, and
sometimes I will ask you about things that have happened during your lifetime. I‟ll try to be
clear, but please ask me if you are not sure about the time period involved. Do you have any
questions before we begin?
