OMB No. 0920-XXXX

Dear School District Employee,

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) would like to thank you for participating in this health questionnaire survey. The purpose of this survey is to collect data that may be useful for studying the association between health symptoms and damp conditions in 50 selected elementary schools.

The questionnaire should take a maximum of 20 minutes to complete, and you can stop at any point if necessary. Completed sections would be saved until you were able to return and complete the questionnaire.

CONSENT:

Your participation is voluntary. You may choose to be in the study or not. You can choose to answer any or all of the questions. You may drop out any time, for any reason, without consequences to you. NIOSH is authorized to collect your personal information and will protect it to the extent allowed by law. There are conditions under the Privacy Act where your information may be released to collaborators or contractors, health departments or disease registries, to the Departments of Justice or Labor, or to Congressional offices. Any risks from completing this survey are minimal. The only risk we anticipate is the potential for loss of confidentiality. To minimize this risk all data is stored on a secure server at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and only those authorized to work on this study will be able to see your results. For questions about your rights, your privacy, or harm to you, contact the Director of Human Research Protections, Mark Toraason at [email protected], or 513-533-8591. There are no direct benefits to you personally for participating in the study. However, what we learn may reduce health symptoms in school employees by providing proper approaches for responding to dampness in school buildings.

By completing the questionnaire, you give your consent to participate.
