1.0 Potential Participants’ Families

Good morning/afternoon/evening, Mr./Mrs._____________. My name is ______________ and I am an employee at New England Research Institutes (NERI). NERI is conducting a research study to evaluate a video game. This study is being conducted by NERI on behalf of the National Institute of Heart, Lung, and Blood (NHLBI), National Institutes of Health (NIH).

NHLBI works to promote the prevention and treatment of heart, lung, and blood diseases, collaborating with patients, families, and organizations worldwide. We had posted signs at the [location where evaluation will take place] explaining the evaluation and your child has expressed interest in participating. Is your child still interested in participating in the Evaluation?

PRIVACY STATEMENT - READ TO ALL RESPONDENTS

Before we begin, let me remind you that all the information we discuss is strictly private and will be kept secure to the extent permitted by law. Neither your name nor your child’s name will be used in any reports.  For quality assurance, my supervisor may monitor this call. Please answer each question as accurately as you can. Both this brief telephone call to screen your child for eligibility and, if eligible, participation is completely voluntary. Your decision whether to permit your child to participate in this evaluation will not affect his or her standing at the (location where the evaluation will take place). You may decide to stop the questions at any time. If you have any questions or concerns about this call, you may call the Principal Investigator Lisa Marceau, at 1-800-775-6374 x511. If you have any questions about your rights as a research subject, you may call Nancy Gee of NERI’s Institutional Review Board at the same toll-free number at extension 249. There will be no charge for these calls.

[If calling back] I am calling you because your child expressed interest in participating in the evaluation of our video game. Is your child still interested in participating?

If no:

Ok, well thank you for your time.

If yes:

First, let me thank you for you and your child’s interest in this evaluation. This evaluation is being held to help us understand whether we were able to create a video game that is interesting and fun for kids to play while also educational, teaching them about clinical studies.

In this evaluation, we are not asking your child to tell us about their personal experiences with clinical studies, or their personal health. Your child will be randomly assigned to either a group that plays a video game, or a group that reviews printed material. Because of the study design, they cannot choose which group to be in.

This videogame is an adventure where a young boy escapes into a book so he does not have to take his medicine. The reader (the player) follows him into the book to help understand his fears and give him the right information about clinical studies. It is rated E for everyone.

All participants will complete a brief survey about clinical studies before they are randomly assigned to the video game or printed materials (handouts). All participants will also complete a brief survey which we will use to determine which method, the video game or reading the handouts, is more effective at educating kids about clinical studies. The evaluation will take one to one and a half hours to complete.

Your child does not have to know anything about clinical studies to participate in this evaluation.

This evaluation has a limited number of spaces so I need to ask you a few questions to determine if your child is eligible to participate. It should take no more than ten minutes. Is that ok?

If no:

Ok, is there a time that would be better when I could call you back?

If yes:

Ok, great. I will call you back then. (Record date and time here):

If no:
