Dear [PARENT NAME]:

Last year, you gave permission for your child to participate in the Strengthening Relationship Education and Marriage Services study, also known as STREAMS. We thank you for allowing your child to participate in this study.

As part of the study, participants are asked to complete two surveys about a year apart. Your child completed the first survey about a year ago. Mathematica Policy Research, the research firm that leads this study, is now conducting the second survey. This survey is similar to earlier survey – it asks about attitudes and experiences with relationships, experiences in school, and other activities.

All information collected for the study will be kept private to the fullest extent allowed by law. Any information your child provides through the survey will be combined with information from other participating youth. No individual information will be reported. Your child’s name will not be attached to his/her answers, and no one outside the study team will see your child’s answers.

We have been unable to reach your child at school to complete the survey. A member of the study team will call your child in the next month to complete the survey over the phone. If your phone number has changed since last year, please call us at [FILL NUMBER] to update your number. Your child can also complete the survey by calling us at the same number. The survey will take about 30 minutes. It is important that your child complete this survey because no one can replace him/her in this study. As a thank you for completing the survey, your child will receive a $20 gift card.

Participation in the study is voluntary. Your child can choose to stop participating at any time with no consequences. The only risk connected with the study is that your child may be uncomfortable answering some questions in the survey. If that happens, your child can refuse to answer those questions.

If you have any questions about the study or your child’s participation, please call [FILL NAME], toll-free, at [FILL NUMBER] between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday-Friday.

Again, thank you for allowing your child to participate in this study.

Sincerely,

Robert Wood, PhD
