Attachment 4 IDEAL Recruitment Brochure and Postcard

Attachment 4— IDEAL Brochure and Post Card
The changes which have been made to the IDEAL brochure were in response to operational shifts in the
screening processes of potential participants, the change in the name of the NIA study site, the
development and execution of a new IDEAL website, and the programmatic decision to cost effectively
respond to the increase requests for brochures and postcards from multiple service entities serving
senior services and organizations.
These changes include:
1. The addition of MedStar to the title of the hospital, now known as MedStar Harbor Hospital
2. The 800 telephone number change when telephone screening services transferred to the study
site at MedStar Harbor Hospital. The new number reflected on Attachment 4 is (1.855.80.IDEAL)
or (1.855.804.3325).
3. The new IDEAL website address: www.nia.nih.gov/ideal
4. Removal of any reference to home physical screening for the IDEAL cohort.
5. The addition of bulleted study overview information on the second side of the brochure
providing a more comprehensive initial introduction to study eligibility and participation
description.
6. The addition of eligibility allowance for people taking chronic drug treatment for hypertension,
cholesterol (hyperlipidemia) or osteoporosis.
1. The addition of an IDEAL postcard. This two-sided postcard is an abbreviation of the Attachment
4 brochure. It is used as handouts at presentations and upon request to residence managers,
for placement in potential participants’ residential message boxes.
