Special Consent for Expanded Use of Video and Audio Recordings

Purpose

NCHS’ Collaborating Center for Questionnaire Design and Evaluation Research (CCQDER) staff often presents what we learn from our projects at training sessions. We would like your permission to show this recording to those who are interested in survey questions but who are not working directly on this project. If you agree, we may show the recording to students, or to other people who write survey questions. In these cases, the recording is always under the control of CCQDER staff who have signed non-disclosure agreements.

Why do we want to show the recordings?

The recordings show how people react to survey questions. They show how questions can be hard to understand or hard to answer. They help people write better survey questions. It may also teach other researchers how to test survey questions.

Where might the recordings be shown?

We may show parts of the recording in a small meeting room, or a classroom.

What information will be on the recording?

The whole recording could be shown. But it is more likely that a short piece will be shown about a problem with a question. No information about you will be added to the recording. However, your face and/or voice will appear on the recording and you may be recognized.

What if I say yes now, but change my mind later?

If you change your mind, contact Karen Whitaker by phone at (301) 458-4569, or by mail at the National Center for Health Statistics, Room 5448, 3311 Toledo Rd., Hyattsville, MD 20782. You may change your mind at any time. When she receives your request, we will not allow special uses of your recording.
