Hi, my name is (INTERVIEWER NAME) and I am calling from Abt Associates.  May I please speak with (RESPONDENT)?

WHEN TALKING TO RESPONDENT:

I am (FIELD INTERVIEWER NAME).  When you applied to participate in <PROGRAM NAME> in < SITE> you agreed to be part of a voluntary research study. The study is called the Health Profession Opportunity Grant or HPOG study.

This call is part of a routine process to keep in touch with you.  We value your participation in the study and would like to tell you about the next steps in our study. We would also like to confirm the contact information that we have on record for you to make sure it is still accurate.

Researchers at Abt Associates are getting ready to conduct the last part of this study for the Administration for Families and Children (ACF), part of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Interviewers from Abt Associates will be conducting the last follow-up survey with study participants. An interviewer will contact you about four months from now to ask you to complete the 72-month follow-up survey.

You will receive a letter explaining this survey about two weeks before an interviewer will call you.

We are interested in the experiences of all study participants, whether you were selected to be in the HPOG program or not. The survey will ask about your education and training, employment, income, overall well-being, as well as some questions about the well-being of a child in your family.

Your participation in that survey is completely voluntary. Your responses will be kept private. 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. The OMB control number for this collection is 0970-0397 and it expires xx/xx/xxxx. If you have comments regarding this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, please send them to [Contact Name]; [Contact Address]; Attn: OMB-PRA (0970-0397).
