Study Title: Community- Associated Clostridium difficile Risk Factor Study

Principal Investigator:

Funding Source: (State Department of Public Health); Centers for Disease Control and Prevention



Invitation to Participate and Description of Project


We are asking you to take part in an assessment to look at how people get infections with Clostridium difficile, a germ that can make people sick with diarrhea and might put them in the hospital. This study is being conducted by staff at <state health department>in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). These infections are very important. We are doing this study to try to learn more about where they come from and how to prevent them.


We are contacting you to ask [you to participate / you to participate on your child’s behalf] because [you/your child] or someone who lives in your area had this infection.



Procedures


The <state health department> routinely tracks how often people in your area get sick from C.difficile infections and is notified whenever a person develops this infection. Your medical doctor is required to report cases of C. difficile to the state health department. If you agree to take part in this study we will ask you to complete a survey over the phone. To understand where these infections come from and how they can be prevented we need to talk to people who got sick and to people who did not get sick. We will ask both groups about [your/your child’s] healthcare, household, medications, and about the types of food [you/ your child] eat(s).


The interview will take about 30 minutes. You can refuse to answer any of the questions. You are free to not participate, if you dont want to.

You may stop at any time. After your participation in the study, we will send you a $20 gift card to show our appreciation for your time and effort.


Security of Information


All we learn about [you/ your child] and your family will be kept private as much as the law allows. We will only use information grouped with information from many other participants, without using names or other personal information. Any information collected that could identify your child will be destroyed when the evaluation is done.


Voluntariness and Withdrawal


You are free to choose not to take part in this study. Refusing to take part will not affect any medical care or benefits [you/your child] receive.
