Overview:

Recruitment will be conducted by telephone by recruiters from YPulse. Individuals from a diverse range of racial/ethnic groups and socioeconomic backgrounds are eligible to participate. Recruitment will continue until a representative sample of the required number of participants for each group is obtained. YPulse will draw from its own existing database of individuals interested in research participation using a participant database, which generates call lists of individuals who have voluntarily signed up to participate in research. YPulse has demonstrated capability in recruiting individuals from diverse demographic backgrounds. Time necessary to complete this survey is an average of five minutes per response for PARENTS and an average of eight minutes per response for YOUTH.



Before recruiting commences, all recruiters will attend training to ensure the screening procedures are administered consistently.

19

Unique identification number created at this point.


In locations where we will not hold focus groups with specific peer crowds, peer crowd will not be used as a screen-in criterion, therefore we will collect this data at the end of focus groups using secure iPads that prompt participants to log into I-Base using their unique identifier ensuring that we can also have this demographic information for the youth who participate in those groups.

20

In locations where we will hold groups with youth who are part of the Hip-hop peer crowd, youth will be given the I-Base survey during screening to assess their peer crowd affiliation for group assignment In locations where we will not hold focus groups with specific Hip-hop peer crowds, we will collect I-Base survey data during groups so that we can also have this demographic information for participating youth.

I-Base will be administered via unique URL links tied to the youth’s unique identifier and no PII will be shared through the I-Base survey. After the participant completes the I-Base, Rescue will analyze the results and will send an encrypted file using a secure FTP connection containing the I-Base scores to Ypulse, stating whether the participant qualifies for a Hip-Hop group or not.
