Introduction
[PROVIDE INFORMED CONSENT TO PARTICIPANTS AND TO PARENTS OR GUARDIANS, IF APPLICABLE]
[IF OBSERVERS ARE PRESENT, MENTION HOW MANY OBSERVERS AND WHETHER THEY ARE FROM RTI OR SAMHSA]
Thank you for participating in our study. In the first half of the interview, I will show you how to use our project laptop and you will enter your answers to questions about use of alcohol and certain drugs into the computer. I will ask you to put on these headphones and you will be able to read the questions on the screen or listen to the questions on the headphones. Even though I will not be able to see the questions or your answers, it is important for you to answer accurately because your responses will determine the type of questions you receive in the second half of the survey.
After you complete the first half of the interview, you will receive a notice asking you to enter a 3-digit code to continue. When you get to that screen, let me know.
The second half of the interview will work a little differently. After some of the survey questions, I will ask you follow-up questions about some of the survey questions. For example, I might ask “Can you tell me in your own words what this question is asking” or “How did you come up with your answer to that question?” There are no right or wrong answers to the questions I ask. Our main goal is to make sure that the questions make sense and that people can answer them easily. You can help us by pointing out anything you find confusing or unclear. If something doesn’t make sense, tell me that. Or if you’re not sure about your response, tell me that too. When we’re done you’ll receive $40 as a token of our appreciation.
I’ll provide reminders about this, but as you answer the rest of the questions, please do not mention your name, anyone else's name, or anything that might identify another person. If you do talk about another person, you can say things like “somebody I know,” or “this person.” Do not say things like, “my mom,” or “my friend Joe.”
READ FOR ADOLESCENTS ONLY: If you name an adult that has provided you with any drugs or non-prescribed medications, I, or my supervisors may need to report it to the agency in this state that investigates abuse. Once we make a report, we have no control over what will be done with the information.
Do you have any questions? ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. HAVE R COMPLETE THE DRUG SCREENING MODULES
THE RESPONDENT SHOULD ALERT YOU WHEN HE OR SHE HAS COMPLETED THE DRUG SCREENING MODULES. AT THIS POINT READ THIS INTRODUCION:
As I mentioned before, this next section will work a little differently. After some of the survey questions, I will ask you follow-up questions. To make this easier for me, I’m going to ask that you take off the headphones and either read the questions aloud or let the questions play over the speaker. Either choice is fine.
[IF R WANTS TO READ: For each of the questions, please read the question aloud and then tell me your answer. You do not have to read all of the answer categories aloud.]
[IF SPEAKERS: After you have listened to the question, can you tell me your answer so that I can follow along?]
As you are answering this next set of questions, feel free to think aloud and tell me anything that comes to mind as you answer this question. This helps us determine if everyone understand our questions in the same way. After some of the questions, I will stop you and ask you some follow up questions such as “Can you tell me in your own words what this question is asking?” You don’t have to repeat the question word for word, I just want to know what it meant to you.
There are no right or wrong answers to the questions I ask. Our main goal is to make sure that the questions make sense and that people can answer them easily. My job is to take a lot of notes and to figure out how potential respondents think about these questions.
GIVE R 3-DIGIT CODE TO CONTINUE.
