Assent/Consent to Participate in the

National Evaluation of the Performance Partnership Pilots

for Disconnected Youth (P3)

Focus Group

You are invited to participate in a focus group as part of an important research study for the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). This study is being conducted by Mathematica Policy Research and Social Policy Research Associates. As part of this important study, we are conducting focus groups with youth participating in this and similar programs to help DOL learn more about how these programs are improving services to help young people succeed in work and school. There are no clear risks to participating in the focus groups. You will receive a $20 gift card for your participation.

By participating, you will help DOL learn more about what it is like to participate in the [P3 pilot program]. As part of the focus group, we will be talking to you and other participants about your experiences in the program, about the services you’ve been receiving, and what your future plans are for work or school once you finish in the program.

Participation is voluntary and you can decide not to participate, without negative consequences.

We would like to record this discussion so that we can more easily listen to what you are saying. The recording will be destroyed once the study is completed. All the information you give will be protected and used only for research.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them now. If you have questions about the study after this focus group discussion, please feel free to call Linda Rosenberg at 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx.
