recruitment email)

Dear WIC Site,

I am following up on an email I recently sent to you regarding the WIC Nutrition Education Study (NEST), including a link and instructions for completing a Site Survey. The survey is being conducted for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) by RTI International and its partner Altarum Institute, and you were designated to complete the Site Survey.

If you have submitted the Site Survey, thank you for your timely response. If you have not yet submitted the Site Survey, please do so within the next week. The online survey can be accessed at [Insert web link].

If you did not receive my previous email regarding the Site Survey, please contact the Nutrition Education Survey Help Desk at the email address or phone number provided below. You may also contact the Survey Help Desk to request a paper copy of the survey and prepaid return envelope if you are unable to complete the survey online.

Participation by all selected local agencies and sites is critical to ensure that the study provides a comprehensive picture of nutrition education that represents all WIC local agencies and sites. Your responses will help FNS and WIC agencies document the many ways that WIC is working with participants to promote healthy eating and physical activity behaviors.

Completion of the survey is required by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-296, Sec. 305), which requires WIC State and local agencies to cooperate in studies or evaluations conducted by or on behalf of USDA. Although survey responses will be identifiable to FNS, the responses will not be used for compliance or monitoring activities. Local agencies, sites, and individual respondent names will not be identified in any study reports or publications.

If you have any questions about the survey, please contact:

Thank you for your participation in the WIC Nutrition Education Study (NEST)!
