An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.


INTRODUCTION AND INSTRUCTIONS

Thank you for helping with this important study. Your input on this survey will help us to understand how you are implementing Making Proud Choices. This survey asks questions about (1) how you see yourself as a member of the Making Proud Choices team in your organization or school, (2) how you see your organization or school supporting Making Proud Choices, and (3) the implementation of Making Proud Choices itself. The survey should take about 30 minutes to complete.

We invite you to participate in this survey. We hope you will find it interesting to describe your organization and the Making Proud Choices.

PRIVACY

Your responses will be kept private. Your identity and/or organizational affiliation will not be revealed in reports, presentations, or articles and will not be recognizable to anyone beyond the research team. We will use a study identification number to track responses and follow up with non-respondents.

In any reporting, we will not include your name or title. All responses will be reported as a group response only, for example, “Most program staff reported that . . .”

Please give your most honest and complete answers so that your thoughts and opinions can help provide a better understanding of Making Proud Choices, how it’s operating, and how best to strengthen it. Your responses will be used for research purposes only. Your individual responses will not be shared with the funder, other staff from your organization, or anyone outside the research team; and, again, your name will not be on this survey.
