Parent or Guardian Permission for Youth Interview for CAPI: FDA Health and Media Study

The FDA Health and Media Study is designed to collect data from boys about their attitudes related to health, health behaviors, and advertisements they may have seen on TV, online, or heard on the radio.

If you recall, previously, your address was randomly chosen to take part in this study. [YOUTHFNAME] was selected to be in this study and has completed at least one survey to date. This study is being conducted again to measure what might have changed over time or what has stayed the same. We are asking your permission for your child’s participation in this next round of the survey.

Purpose of the Youth Survey

We want to interview your child about these topics again. The child’s answers, combined with the answers of other youth in the study, will improve our understanding of how public education campaigns affect youth. The answers may be shared with the FDA but not your child’s personal information.

Types of Questions for Youth

The interview will last about 45 minutes, depending on responses. The interviewer will ask the first few questions and then youth respondents will answer questions directly into a laptop. The interview will be completed in a part of the household that allows your child to answer in private.

Voluntary Participation

Your child’s participation in this study is completely voluntary. He can refuse to answer any or all questions. Your child has the right to stop the interview at any time.

Risks

There are no physical risks to your child from participating in this interview. It is possible that some questions might make your child mildly uncomfortable, depending on their responses. No absolute guarantees can be made regarding the interception of data sent via the Internet. However, we are taking extensive precautions to protect the privacy of all data.

Future Contacts

There are no future contacts planned at this time.

Benefits

There are no direct benefits to your child from answering our questions. However, he will be contributing to important health research.

Compensation/Payment

Because your child’s contribution is important, we will offer your child $20 in cash as a token of appreciation for completing the survey.

Privacy

The survey answers will be entered into a computer and labeled with a case identification number. Your name and that of your child will not be reported with any information your child provides. Information your child provides will be combined with answers of many others and reported in a summary form. We will not share any information that your child gives us with you or with anyone outside the FDA and RTI research teams. All staff involved in this research are committed to privacy and have signed a Privacy Pledge.
