Subject Line: FDA Health and Media Study Second Reminder

Dear Parent of CHILD’S FIRST NAME OR INITIALS]:

Recently, we emailed you about the FDA Health and Media Study fourth follow-up survey, but our records show your child has not completed the survey. Your child, [CHILD’S FIRST NAME OR INITIALS], is one of approximately 2,200 youth taking part in this study and his continued participation is critical to the success of this important research.

Please consider having your child complete the online survey as soon as possible. We will offer your child a check for $20 if he completes the survey online.

To complete the online survey on a personal computer, laptop, phone, or tablet, a parent or guardian must follow all three steps below:

1. Open your web browser and type in the study website address: [RUSTEC WEBSITE]

2. Once you have reached the study website, type in the username and password exactly as shown below:

Username: [Username]

Password: [Password]

3. Once you’ve typed in your username and password, you will see instructions for completing this round of the study. A parent or legal guardian must follow the steps to provide permission for the child to complete the survey.

Those who complete the survey online will receive a check for $20 for completing the survey. If your child completes the survey with one of our field interviewers, he will be offered $20 in cash.

Your child’s help with this round of the study is voluntary, but greatly appreciated. Your child can refuse to answer any and all questions. All information provided by you and your child will be kept private to the fullest extent allowable by law and used only for statistical purposes. Your child or your household will never be identified in any analysis, reports, or publications, and no one will try to sell you or your child anything.

For more information about the study, you can call our project assistance line toll-free at (866) 214-2039, or email us at [email protected]. If you have a question about your child’s rights as a study participant, you can call RTI’s Office of Research Protection toll-free at (866) 214-2043.

Thank you in advance for participating in this important research.

Sincerely,

Matthew Farrelly, PhD
