Attachment 1c. First Reminder Email for Landscape Assessment Survey

Subject line: 1^st Reminder: Please complete the CDC’s National Diabetes Prevention Program Introductory Session Landscape Assessment

Dear [Name of Point-of-Contact],

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) Division of Diabetes Translation has contracted with RTI International to conduct a survey (the Introductory Session Landscape Assessment) of all CDC-recognized organizations and their class locations that offer the National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) lifestyle change program. The goal of this brief survey is to gain a better understanding of the number and types of introductory sessions (also known as “session zeros”) being offered as a recruitment strategy to increase enrollment in the National DPP lifestyle change program.

We request that you follow the link in this email and complete a brief survey about your CDC-recognized lifestyle change program. Completion of this survey is voluntary and should take only about 15 minutes. The survey includes questions about the structure and organization of your lifestyle change program, characteristics of your community, recruitment and program support strategies, introductory session characteristics, and your interest in participating in the subsequent phase of the overall project.

Your responses will be kept confidential. Names of individuals or organizations will not be released, and your survey results will only be reported in combination with all other responses. This survey is not a part of CDC’s Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program (DPRP) recognition process. There is no consequence if you do not respond to the survey. Choosing not to participate will not have any effect on your CDC DPRP recognition or CDC grantee status.
