Appendix D14. Telephone Script to Complete Sponsor or Site Supervisor Survey

Hello, May I speak with <NAME OF SPONSOR/SITE SUPERVISOR>?

IF AVAILABLE:

Hello. This is <NAME> calling from Westat, with regard to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Summer Meals Study. We recently emailed you a link and PIN to fill out a web-based <Sponsor /Site Supervisor> survey for the Summer Meals Study. The study will help us better understand who participates in summer meals programs, and how we could better meet the nutritional needs of children in the summer. The study will ask about how satisfied participants are with the programs, and why some families and their children do not participate in summer meals. We will also collect information on how the meals are served, where they are served, and how healthy the summer meals are.

We really need your input. Our records indicate that you have not completed the survey as of today, and we would like to do that with you now, over the phone. It will take about 20 minutes to complete and will improve our understanding of summer meal program operations and facilitators and barriers to program participation.

Are you able to complete this with me over the phone now?

• Yes (GO TO PHONE COMPLETION SECTION)

• No  Would you prefer to complete the survey online? (IF YES, GO TO ONLINE COMPLETION SECTION.) (IF NO – REFUSAL, COMPLETE NON-INTERVIEW REPORT FORM TO DOCUMENT STRENGTH OF REFUSAL (MILD/FIRM/HOSTILE) AND REASONS FOR REFUSAL.) We appreciate your time today. Thank you. END
