Hello, this is __________________, from (NAME OF FOCUS GROUP COMPANY), calling on behalf of the U.S. Department of Transportation. We are conducting a study of drivers’ opinions about advertising ideas. I would like to ask you a few questions to determine if you are eligible for the study which will be in the form of a focus group. (NOTE TO RECRUITER: If necessary, read:)

This collection of information is voluntary and will be used for formative purposes only so that we may develop communications programs designed to reduce the number of traffic-related injuries and deaths. A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information displays a current valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Number for this information collection is 2127-0682. Public reporting for this collection of information is estimated to be approximately 6 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, completing and reviewing the collection of information. All responses to this collection of information are voluntary. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to: Information Collection Clearance Officer, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave, S.E., Washington, DC, 20590

Again, I remind you that all your answers are confidential. Likewise, the focus group discussion and people’s participation will also be confidential. For these focus groups, the research sponsor wants to hear the opinions and comments from people who have smoked or consumed marijuana recreationally at least once within the past three months. This research is not for law enforcement efforts, nor will law enforcement be involved in the research. Rather, the research is solely to gather opinions about advertising ideas. So let me ask…
