[IF SPEAKING TO RESPONDENT ON INITIAL CONTACT]

2M Research Services and Abt Associates are conducting a study for the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service called “Successful Approaches to Reduce Sodium in School Meals.” I am calling because [SFA DIRECTOR] from [SFA SITE NAME] provided us with your contact information. We are interested in interviewing individuals who may be involved in or a supporter of the [SCHOOL/school DISTRICT NAME]’s efforts to reduce sodium in school meals. Changes in Federal regulations updated nutritional requirements for school breakfasts and lunches, which led to changes in the amount of sodium (or salt) in foods served by a school. We understand that

[IF SCHOOL administrator:] your school, [SCHOOL NAME], has been active in its efforts to reduce sodium in school meals.

[IF FOOD SUPPLIER:] you provide foods to [SCHOOL DISTRICT NAME], and have been involved in their efforts to reduce sodium in school meals.

[IF COMMUNITY-BASED STAKEHOLDER:] you have been involved in [SCHOOL NAME]’s efforts to reduce sodium in school meals.

I would like to invite you to participate in an in-depth [TELEPHONE OR IN-PERSON] interview with our research team between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Your interview will last approximately [TELEPHONE: 1 hour OR IN-PERSON: an hour and a half]. Would you be interested in this opportunity?

[IF NO:] Are there questions or concerns that I can address? What is the main reason you are unable to participate? [PROBE FOR: REASONS why] Do you know of someone who has a similar level of involvement with the school or school district’s effort to reduce sodium, and whom we should invite to participate in this study? [GO TO “THANK YOU”]
