FASD Toolkit Evaluation Focus Group/Guided Interview

Email Invitation

Thank you for completing our recent user survey regarding the American Academy of Pediatrics FASD Toolkit. We greatly appreciate your time and contributions to this important topic.

At the conclusion of the survey, you indicated that we could follow-up with you to find out more about your opinions on the toolkit. I am contacting you today to inquire whether you are still interested in participating in a 30-minute focus group/guided interview.

If yes, please reply all to this email. Pam Kelley, our project consultant and facilitator, will then contact you to schedule a discussion time.

If you are no longer interested, I would appreciate a response so that we may remove you from our list of potential interviewees.

Please feel free to contact me with questions or concerns. We look forward to hearing from you.
