[Your parent/guardian gave permission for you to take part in the survey, so let’s
continue.] Thank you for answering those questions. Now I’ll explain the survey and then
ask for your consent to take part. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has
contracted with Mathematica to conduct this survey. We are conducting this survey with
women who recently had a baby. During the interview, I will ask you about your
experiences as a new mom as well as your experiences during your most recent
pregnancy.
Taking part in the survey is voluntary. If any of the questions seem too personal or you
don’t feel like answering them, you can let me know and we will skip those questions.
Your name and survey answers will be kept private and used only for the purpose of the
study unless required by law. We may combine your survey answers with information we
get about you from your state Medicaid agency, which you may know as [FILL STATE
MEDICAID NAME]. Risks to taking part in the survey include possible disclosure of your
name, your answers to survey questions, and linked medical information, which we have
taken steps to avoid. Although there are no direct benefits to you or your baby from taking
part in the study, the information you provide may help other women and their babies in
the future. We will send you a $25 gift card in the mail after you complete the survey.
PROBE IF NEEDED: If you wish to speak to a researcher about the study, I can give you
the contact information for So O’Neil, the principal investigator. She
can be reached at 617-301-8975.
PROBE IF NEEDED: If you want to speak to someone about your rights as a participant in
the survey, I can give you the contact information for the New
England Institutional Review Board. They can be reached at 617-2433924.
