INVITATION

Your child is being invited to participate in a research study about school absenteeism and influenza surveillance in the Oregon School District.

Your child has been asked to participate because he/she has symptoms such as a sore throat, fever or other respiratory symptoms, which could be due to influenza (the “flu”).

This study will include Kindergarten through 12th grade students in the Oregon School District. We will collect samples from 500 students each year over a 3 year period.

This research is being conducted in participant's homes.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY?

The purpose of the research is to determine the causes of school absences across the Oregon school district over a three-year period and to compare when influenza is occurring in the Oregon School District to when it is occurring in surrounding areas and across Wisconsin.

WHAT WILL MY CHILD’S PARTICIPATION INVOLVE?

If you decide to allow your child to participate in this research, he/she will be asked to answer some simple questions about his/her current illness and have two samples taken from his/her nose and/or throat using a soft swab. One sample will be tested for influenza today. The other sample will be sent to the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene, where it will be tested for influenza and other viruses using research tools. Some samples may be frozen and kept at the Wisconsin State Lab of Hygiene. Some samples may even be tested at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.

Your child’s participation will last approximately 30 minutes today.

We will also collect the following information about your child for this research study:

First and last name, birth date, home address, phone number, email address, sex, race/ethnicity, birth date, and information including when the illness began, exposure to similar illnesses, recent travel, exposure to farm animals, symptoms of this illness, severity of this illness, and whether he/she received influenza vaccine. We will also verify his/her immunizations through the Wisconsin Immunization Registry.

ARE THERE ANY BENEFITS TO MY CHILD?

You will receive your child’s rapid influenza results by phone within 48 hours of the sample collection. If you would like us to provide the results in writing so that you can share them with your child’s health care provider, we can arrange for that. This may allow the health care provider to better diagnose your child’s current illness and provide appropriate treatments. You will also receive your child’s influenza test results from the Wisconsin State Lab of Hygiene in the mail within 2 weeks of the sample collection.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS OR RISKS TO MY CHILD?

The main risk of taking part in this study is that your study information could become known to someone who is not involved in performing or monitoring this study. Sometimes a person will find that the nose or throat swab makes them feel mildly uncomfortable or causes a gagging sensation. This is temporary and does not cause any long lasting problems. These samples will be obtained by a trained and skilled research associate.

All University of Wisconsin System (UWS) employees shall report child abuse or neglect immediately if the employee, in the course of employment, observes an incident or threat of child abuse or neglect, or learns of an incident or threat of child abuse or neglect, and the employee has reasonable cause to believe that child abuse or neglect has occurred or will occur.

WILL MY CHILD BE COMPENSATED FOR THEIR PARTICIPATION?

Your child will receive a $20 gift card for participating in all parts of this study.

HOW WILL MY CHILD’S CONFIDENTIALITY BE PROTECTED?

All paper data sheets will be kept in locked filing cabinets in the UW Department of Family Medicine. Contact sheets with name, address, phone number, and email will be kept separate from other data, with other information identified with a Subject ID Number. The coded information collected from you during this study will be used by the researchers and research staff associated with the University of Wisconsin Madison, but will not include any data that could identify you as an individual. The study sponsor, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as the Wisconsin Department of Public Health and the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene may also have access to the data. While there will probably be publications as a result of this study, your name will not be used. Only group characteristics will be published.

Others at UW-Madison and its affiliates who may need to use your health information in the course of this research:

• UW-Madison regulatory and research oversight boards and offices

• Accounting and billing personnel at the UW-Madison

Others outside of UW-Madison and its affiliates who may receive your health information in the course of this research:

• Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

• Wisconsin Department of Public Health

People outside the UW-Madison and its affiliates who receive your health information may not be covered by privacy laws and may be able to share your health information with others without your permission. Usually when we share information from research studies with others outside the UW-Madison and its affiliates, it is not shared in a way that can identify an individual.

IS MY CHILD’S PERMISSION VOLUNTARY AND MAY HE/SHE CHANGE HIS/HER MIND?

Your child’s permission is voluntary. You do not have to sign this form and you may refuse to do so. If you refuse to sign this form, however, your child cannot take part in this research study.

Your child may completely withdraw from the study at any time. Your child also may choose to cease participation or skip any questions that he/she does not feel comfortable answering.

IF YOUR CHILD DECIDES NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS STUDY OR IF YOU STOP WHILE THE STUDY IS UNDERWAY, THE HEALTH CARE YOU RECEIVE FROM THE UW-MADISON AND ITS AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE AFFECTED IN ANY WAY.

HOW LONG WILL MY PERMISSION TO USE MY CHILD’S HEALTH INFORMATION LAST?

By signing this form you are giving permission for your child’s health information to be used by and shared with the individuals, companies, or institutions described in this form. The nasal and/or throat samples will be banked at the Wisconsin State Lab of Hygiene and/or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for future research purposes. Future research would be limited to the detection of pathogens (viruses and bacteria) not included within our usual testing procedures. Both the WSLH and the CDC will store these samples in a secure location. Unless you withdraw your permission in writing to stop the use of your health information, there is no end date for its use for this or subsequent research studies. You may withdraw your permission at any time by writing to the person whose name is listed below:

Jonathan Temte, MD/PhD

Dept. of Family Medicine, 1100 Delaplaine Ct, Madison, WI 53715

Beginning on the date you withdraw your permission, no new information about you will be used. Any information that was shared before you withdrew your permission will continue to be used. If you withdraw your permission, you can no longer actively take part in this research study.

WHOM SHOULD I CONTACT IF I HAVE QUESTIONS?

Please take as much time as you need to think over whether or not you wish for your child to participate. If you have questions about the study at any time, or if you feel your child was harmed by participating in this study,you should contact the Principal Investigator Jonathan Temte, MD/PhD at 608-263-3111 or the Project Manager, Shari Barlow at 608-333-2653.
