Attachment F. ZIPER telephone recruitment script
Hello, my name is __________________. I am calling from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). You recently visited the hospital and a blood sample was taken.
The laboratory found Zika virus in your blood on (date of collection [ CDATE ]). This means that perhaps your symptoms were caused by the Zika virus. Zika Virus infection is transmitted through mosquito bites. Do you have questions about these results?
I'm calling today because I work with an investigation by the CDC to investigate how long Zika virus can be in different body fluids. We are recruiting participants for this study and you are eligible to participate because you have a positive result to the Zika virus. Before explaining the study, I would like to see if you qualify to participate. Are you a resident of Puerto Rico?
The study lasts 9 months and has between 8 and 20 visits. You can come for those visits to the study site or we can visit you at your home. Two to three people could go to your home to complete a questionnaire and take samples. For every home visit we do for this study we will give you a visa card that has a balance of $50 to reimburse you for your time and transportation. Each visit will last about one hour. Initially there are 4 weekly visits, and then the visits are less frequent.
On each visit we will take 3 samples: blood, urine, and saliva. We also ask that provides a sample of semen or vaginal fluids if you are an adult.
If woman: you yourself would collect the sample of vaginal discharge in the privacy of your bathroom or room with a type of swab
If man: We would give a bottle to collect the semen sample and would return home when you're ready.
Participation in this study is completely voluntary. You can decide whether or not to participate.
Do you have any questions about the study?
Would you like to participate in this study?
If you want to participate: Thank you for your interest in participating in this study. We would like to schedule your first visit. Is there a day or time of day that is best for you?
