All the interviews are being conducted at Westat’s facilities in Rockville or Frederick, MD. Parents and guardians who participate will receive a cash gift of $75 in appreciation for their time, and their teenagers will receive $50.

If you are open to it, I would like to ask you a few questions to see if you and your teen are eligible to participate.
