Your participation is voluntary and your answers will remain private. No individual or firm will be identified in any report based on the survey.

Please access this online survey at [SHORT-FORM SURVEY URL] using [USERNAME] as your user ID and [PASSCODE] as your pass code. If you have any difficulty accessing the survey, or have any questions, please contact [NAME] of Westat at XXX-XXX-XXXX or by email at [email protected]. Westat will also contact you by mail or telephone to confirm your participation in the survey.

I encourage you to take two minutes to complete this survey. Your response will help us determine the success of our outreach effort.

Sincerely,
