[Control No.]

Dear Parent or Guardian,

Do you have a young person living in your home who is at least 12 years old, and not older than 17 years old? We would like to invite this young person to complete this voluntary survey about himself or herself and friends.

• If yes, please ask this 12 to 17 year old household member to complete the enclosed survey and mail it back using the enclosed postage-paid envelope.

• If there is more than one person of this age living in the household, please share this survey with the youth who has the next birthday coming up. This child with the next birthday is invited to complete the survey.

This short survey determines whether your child is eligible for an in-person interview on tobacco use and media use. The in-person interview offers $25 as a token of appreciation for your child’s time. So that we can contact you if your child is eligible, please provide your name and the best phone number to reach you. Then mail this form back to us along with your child’s completed survey. We may contact you again to request your permission for your child to participate in two additional surveys every six months. At that point, you can decide whether or not to allow your child to participate. Your child will also be able to choose whether or not to participate in those surveys.

If there are no young people between the ages of 12 and 17 living in your household, please check the box below and return this packet to us using the enclosed postage-paid envelope.

I don’t have a youth between the ages of 12 and 17 living in my household.

The enclosed materials are for a study related to youth tobacco use and media use conducted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) called the Evaluation of the Fresh Empire Campaign on Tobacco (EFECT). For more information about the EFECT study, you can call our project assistance line toll-free at [CONTACT NUMBER] extension [CONTACT EXTENSION]. If you have a question about your rights as an EFECT study participant, you can call RTI’s Office of Research Protection toll-free at (866) 214-2043.

Your help is very important to this study’s success. Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

Youth: We would like to ask you some questions about yourself and your friends. Your participation is voluntary, and your answers to these questions will be kept private. There are no physical risks to you from completing this survey. It is possible that some questions might make you mildly uncomfortable, depending on your responses. There are no direct benefits to you from answering our questions. However, you will be contributing to important research related to tobacco use among youth. If you meet our criteria to participate in the study, you will be invited to complete an in-person interview that offers $25 upon completion.

I understand that I will be answering some questions about myself, and if I meet the criteria, I will be invited at a future date to participate in the study.
