Attachment 15: MIHOPE Contact Materials for Semi-Structured Interviews
[DATE]
Dear
[CAREGIVER],
Greetings from the MIHOPE study
team! You may remember joining the MIHOPE study about home visiting
in [MONTH/YEAR ENROLLED IN MIHOPE]. You might have done some
interviews with us as your child has grown up.
Why we are contacting you
We are still learning about how home visiting can make a difference for children and families. As a next step, we would like to interview you to hear more from you. During this interview, we would like to understand more about your experiences as a parent. We would also like to hear about your experiences with [LOCAL PROGRAM].
About the interview
A MIHOPE team member will conduct the interview. We can visit you at a location of your choosing. This can be your home or a nearby place where we can talk privately. We will ask about your experiences when you were pregnant with [CHILD] and when [CHILD] was very young.
The interview will last about one and a half hours, but it could take up to two hours. As a thank you, you will receive a $[INCENTIVE AMOUNT] gift card after the interview.
The information you share will be valuable in helping us understand your experiences. It will also help us provide information that can improve home visiting programs for other families.
What will happen next
If you would like to schedule time for the interview, please call MDRC toll-free at 1-877-311-6372.
If you do not want to be interviewed, you can also call MDRC at 1-877-311-6372 to let us know.
Otherwise, someone will be in touch soon to schedule a time to talk to you.
We are excited to hear more about your experiences!
Sincerely,
Helen Lee
