NISVS Redesign Paper Instrument

NOTE: The paper survey will be sent to the respondent who is identified on the screener. The screener will include information on the sex of the participant. We will send a different survey depending on the sex of the respondent. If the screener mis-identifies the sex of the respondent, the survey will ask the respondent to stop and send back the survey so we can send them the correct version (see CF14 below).

The question numbers for the survey use the numbers from the web instrument. The numbers will be changed (made consecutive) once the content of the survey is finalized.

The survey is not currently formatted for a paper instrument. This will be done once the content of the survey is finalized.

You have been randomly chosen to participate in an important study. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is doing a telephone study of up to {fill: (# OF INTERVIEWS)} people. Men and women age 18 and older will be asked questions about their health and injuries they may have experienced. The data we are collecting are very important and will be used to inform prevention efforts.

The survey will take approximately 10 (?) minutes, on average. Since some of the questions are personal, we suggest that you be in a private setting during the survey.

There are minimal benefits or risks to being in this voluntary study. The answers you give us will be combined with the answers from other people who are in the survey. No information that could personally identify you will be given to the CDC or anyone else. You can skip any question or stop the survey at any time.

INSERT INCENTIVE INFORMATION

If you have questions or concerns about participating in the study, you may call the Survey Manager, {NAME}, at ###-###-####. If you have any questions about your rights as a research participant, please contact {CONTRACTOR} Office of Research Protection toll-free at ###-###-####.

CF14 Would you currently describe yourself as..

1 Male (Go to RCMO/RCYR)

2 Female (Go to RCMO/RCYR)

CF15 Would you prefer to be referred to as male or female?

1 Male
