FRT7 Between Waves Letter to Parent of 9-11 Year-Old

<>
Dear <>
We visited your household several months ago for the Population Assessment of Tobacco and
Health (PATH) Study. This is an important study on tobacco and health in the United States, but
one doesn’t have to be a tobacco user to take part in the study. What we learn should help improve
the health of millions of Americans. The study is sponsored by the National Institutes of Health
(NIH), in partnership with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Westat, an independent
research firm, is conducting the study.
As we said before, we would like to interview your child when he or she turns 12 years old. As a
thank you for participating, we will offer your child $25 for doing the interview. We will offer you
$10 as a thank you for participating.
If your contact information has changed in the last year and you have not told us about it, please
complete the enclosed contact information form and send it back in the postage-paid envelope. We
will mail $5 for your child as a thank you for updating the information or just letting us know that
nothing has changed.
Your and your child’s participation in this study is voluntary but very important to the success of the
study. If you want more information, please contact us toll-free at 1-888-311-1819. You may also
visit our website at www.pathstudyinfo.nih.gov.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
Tammy Cook
PATH Study Survey Director
